A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

Not only a great night for the Dead, but Betty was on board.

I'm not really a fan of this song, but this is really good.

Hard to believe there could be at least 50 versions better than this.

In general, I have preferred the one drummer variant of 1971-1974. This song benefits from the syncopated style of Mickey and thus the added bounce. Donna is not doing her "orgasmic" thing that I have never liked. Good version.
