Solid solo & performance, but such great vocals from Garcia.

This LSU Tiger gets to recommend a Baton Rouge U.S Blues! Few vocal flubs but about as rockin as any other that year!

Jerry’s hitting some real rockstar riffs. Does nearly fall onto its face into Good Lovin though

Throwing Stones

They really can’t seem to find the groove here IMO. Takes away a lot of the draw for me

Yeah, I mean, not a great tune. Certainly different. Maybe a younger, less mature brother of Throwing Stones. Much more "on the nose" than we're used to with Dead tunes. I do love that Brent truly had his space to write and perform his own stuff with them though when there were some real artistic powerhouses in that crew. I understand Brent and Barlow wrote the lyrics. I wonder who put the music down? That's really the bigger issue with the song. The material could have improved if it danced around the music a bit more, but it was just too on the nose.

Garcia’s voice lends itself so perfectly here

God I love Pigpen. Was also caught off guard by that PITB riff in here in 1969. Need to do more digging into how that tune formed.
