Good job!! My father used to play this outside our townehouse in baltimore and all the kids would come around and watch, and just for a few minutes we were the coolest people on earth. Thanks for the reminder from whence i came.
Shades of Reckoning.......By far the most accurate i've run across on youtube so far.The adlibs were nice, but i'm a purest when it comes that which was pure to begin wiht.
at first I thought the Corona and gigar were cheesy but then I've listened to this song many times with a beer and a 'gar...nice touch. No vocals needed. We all know the words
Wow! Outstanding chording and percussion! Thanx!!! There is a road!

I usually get pissed when someone besides Jerry or The Dead try to play that song. You, Sir, are a welcome exception.
I want "Ripple" and "Brokedown Palace" to be played at my funeral, in that order.
