Mark, owner of Sunshine Octopus, tells me about his favorite Grateful Dead song, some of the 620 shows he went to, and meeting the band. 

The version I used in the song snippet is the 1969 Fillmore West San Fran version. This was the first live version released, and is the first time most people heard this song. This song was considered the holy grail Grateful Dead song to see live, and only was played once between 1980-1989. It was played mostly in the early 70's. The studio version doesn't do it justice one bit.

Check out Sunshine Octopus if you're veer near Rehoboth Beach, DE. Tell Mark that Carson sent you. Cool ass dude.
