Always love Garcia's guitar dancing around the vocals in this tune. Listen to the scrub at the end of the first solo break!

Rollicking Version...Garcia's solo break make this one shine...Happy and upbeat for a song that state's "Don't murder me"

April and May 78 versions are huge! From the famed Mescaline show...the band kills it in this rendition.

That's great 'alwaysgrateful'! Glad you enjoyed this version. There's a reason why they picked this one during "30 days". I downloaded it and listened to it on the ride to work one day. I had to listen to it twice it was that good! 20 plus years of listening to this music and it never ceases to amaze.

This tune was just icing on the cake after the intensity that preceded it a la That's it for the Other One

Back in Nov 2010 they did "30 days of dead" on dead.net and let you download a mystery tune a day. This version was the one they picked. Absolutely stellar!
