Cool version,strong vocals with the odd miscue but its rare to hear UJB without the little flubs.

Another Dead song that matures with age- they all hit the spot for me,early or late.

Nice,hi energy Deal...Jerry really going for it on th is rendition and Brent brings the goods too..This song really matured in the 80s- JGB and Dead versions get better with age and turn into a real rocker.

Nice uptempo rocker, a very strong reading of this Grateful Dead anthem...Jerry and Donna Jean team up nicely here..I think Donna is sadly underrated by a lot of so-called Deadheads...Shes a really good singer,dont care what people say.
