Great Willie Dixon song. Great cover by the Dead. You won't find any popular bands making music like this today. You have to hunt it down to find it. Popular music today sucks.
Brents B-3 work on this and Bobby's slide work, at times, totally musically resemble a cocky rooster strutting his stuff around the barnyard. Amazing. I was listening to this song from "Dead Set", (Played sometime around this exact time) while I was on a hike and I was rocking out so hard on the beautiful wooded trails in Tennessee that the other runners were looking at me funny. It was a wonderful hike.
Man... Brent... I don't think there was one bad note played. I was waiting for Brent to come in with his own personal verse he wrote, but I guess he didn't start doing that until around 86. Bobby's vocals were awesome. The slide guitar was really great from both Jer and Bobby. And Phil is just fun to watch :) Great band.
I spent 3 yrs at the Filmore when phil graham would hand out apples at the door personally and hear the dead and airplane every weekend. it was a very few good years. sorry about the syntax. BY.
Great job on this classic by the Dead although I prefer the older ones by the blues greats like Howlin Wolf or Big Momma Thornton. On the other hand this song is so strong it's hard to imagine a bad cover.
Totally the Best version I've Ever heard.... Except in 1993 live...gave me a chill in my spine that lasted for days... it could have been the tabs, but I'm pretty sure it was from the song,
@RedsoxFan20042007 brent was a big fan of pen, brent bought the 1967 debut album and studied rons technique. probably never would have thought in a million years he would one day take his place
I am newbie guitar player so excuse dumb question. I have tabs that say this song is in Key of E, but it sounds like it is in A. Can somebody who has an ear tell what key this is in?
Among the innumerable virtues of the Dead, they were peerless interpreters of blues songs.
The Dead at their peak performing a blues classic!
Bobby's guitar solo is awesome. Didn't know he could rip it like that. This is definitely the best version ANYONE has ever done.

This song seems to go on forever! Nobody played better music to get stoned to like The Dead.
One of my favorite versions!

Bob is probably my favorite singer of all time!
What a fantastic sound. Great version of this classic.
Thanks.
perhaps the best version ever, thanks so much for posting
Wow, they really did justice to Wolf's song here. Excellent excellent version.
Brent Mydland always played a tight Rooster. He is truly missed.
If this is not the cross between blues and rock 'n roll, I don't know what is.
That keyboard guy with the beard rocks!
Awesome Baby. Man I love this stuff. Makes me want to go listen to some BB & Muddy. Thanks for posting this.

1 For Dixon and 1 for The Dead.
@morriswil32 Yeah, Brent Mydland is outstanding. His years were the best years of the Dead. Jerry loved his style.

@Slikrik1212 hard to disagree with the Brent years, but i'm partial to pig pen. don't get me wrong brent is a god. just loved Pig's voice and playing.
Jerry Garcia= The Man.
