Notes

Robert Hunter comments on the writing of this song in Box Of Rain: Lyrics 1965 - 1993;

Written at Mickey Hart's ranch in heated inspiration as the surrounding hills blazed and the fire approached the recording studio where we were working... He also noted that the lines;

Put it down heavy, strip it down lean
Got to lay it down dirty and play it back clean

became one of the groups' mottoes
