Thanks for sharing

It's always been one of my favorite live songs from many joyful Dead shows over the years gone past

These four goats were sure enjoying themselves performing this, it was fun to watch

When Bobby and the band played it, it took a very different path, winding us all up into an ecstatic frenzy

JC was an American treasure
