I dig this one, Garcia plays some longer, watery lines that get the job done in a satisfying way

Just listen to the Wolf--funky, dirty, sort of countrified--a unique and powerful version

I listened to every Dark Star and blogged it....when people ask what's a largely unknown version everyone should know, this is my #1 answer

This may be the best of the year, and certainly the best to date. In some ways the song doesn't take off until 1973--Garcia is sometimes more tentative, and not that loud, but here the Alligator is in overdrive, both literally and figuratively....

Come on, motherfuckers!! This is the shit! In Fall 1972, sometimes Garcia gets extra overdrive going (see also Sept 15) and demonstrates why this is one of the best songs they do...
