You know the crew is feeling spritely and in a cowboy mood when they play this, blessed frequently in '89 with it.

Pigpen cut revived for the 90's with the group in kind of a slow crawling king snake vibe. Vince knows how to lay down some organ. Top late form.

short but it rules. God their sound from 89 on is so fucking WEIRD and shiny and cool. No music sounds quite like this. this suite is always guided by what the drummers are doing and they don't disappoint. A cymbal-heavy performance on this one leaves lots of room for phil to do a walkabout and Healy and brent to get going. No-nonsense public access jingle Franklin's.

fabulous one. Exquisite starlight, swooshy bob, powerful inspiration section, Breezy gliding plinkatron funk jam. LOTS of midi.
