Hits a great groove early on, with some cool interplay before the first verse.

If you like some of Jerry's guitar effects from early versions of "Dark Star," give this a listen! Short but sweet.

Cool transition from "Space," and the organ in the intro is hot. Leads into a smoking "Watchtower"

I'm entering a Dylan/Dead kick, and it's because of things like this (and the Desolation Row from 5-10-1987).

You can tell Bobby's effort on the previous numbers lit a fire under the band's butt (and Jerry's vocals).

Again, not usually a fan of this pairing, but both are played quite musically tonight, and Bobby is working his ass off.

I confess that I've become less fond of this song each time I hear it, but this is incredibly musical.

Although I do wish the blessed drummers had stuck with that deep 16th note groove, which kept pushing the beat and deepening the pocket.
