You think this particular album cut shows the negative influence of drugs? Which? How? Maybe the fact that they put up with Donna Jean's caterwauling could serve as evidence. However, this was such a bright and sparkly song live, that your "theory" fails the falsification test. |

pass the bong? Love the Dead...always wanted to see a show but never did....if there are regrets in my life (and I'd argue there are very, very few) it would be that I never saw the dead live.

RP has made me become aware of much I had not paid nearly enough attention. I'm making up for it - am now researching replacement car receivers - with hd satellite. Thank you RP!  |

I dig this one. Uptempo songs were always welcome at Dead shows. So often they'd get bogged down and not get going for quite a while. This is such a happy sound.

I love the Dead! Every time I hear those guitar licks it makes me reminisce about those California hills. You make me dance, all the way from France!
