Now this is how I remember the tune when I saw them three times one weekend in MI in 1967. Twice at the Grande and down in Ann Arbor free in the park. Phil Lesh absolutley mesmerized me the entire time.

Those were the days, when Billy was going by Bill Sommers.

The Grateful Dead could have (and maybe should have) stopped after about 1967.They were amazing, up to that time.

listen carefully to the bass line...it's a trip

Great song, good recording from that period, thanks for posting. Need to bring back some acid tests, everything is too corporate factory ready made. I sure missed those early blues / Pigpen influenced songs.

@iunnodiapeys Exactly. They both promised to work harder and do better at the "Performance Review", but it's not clear to me whether the band then said, OK, we'll give you another chance to turn it around, OR if it was more a case of them just turning up to play anyway even though it wasn't clear they were wanted. In the end, though they were accepted back into the band however it happened.

Pig Pen was all they needed as an organist. Too bad they kind of diminished his role in the years to come but his performances on the live shows was always a highlight of their sets.
