I love this band and like this version very much. It's a unique roller coaster twist on a great classic Hunter/Garcia tune.
How about you?

I wouldn't know what Hunter truly would feel about this arrangement.
But knowing Hunter from listening, talking to, and being around him since 1982 with the "Dinosaurs", I do know he'd like the opening verse and the added Violin. But Nivana? I'm sure He'd get a kick out of it and then possibly ignore it and also fan reactions as best as possible.

As for Jerry... I look at it this way,
Knowing he liked the punk band "Pop-O-Pies" mashup version of "Truckin'."
Also, how much Jerry loves most music styles. Jerry was always open to originality.
I believe he'd be open to how much fun this song is and dig this very much.

I am not a fan of Nivana at all. But I do like this arrangement.
They kicked some Nirvana ass on those segments. It's a unique, surprising spin on Hunter's classic song.

Traditional will always be great, but how about a little playful prankster fun added to it?

Classic Sci-Fi Snippets - Island Of Terror (1966)

A fun British film with a good cast.

I like that the creature's special effects are so 1950s state-of-the-art, mechatronics. 😉🤣

1950: Actors wearing spacesuits walk on a replica of the lunar surface, as director Irving Pichel and a cinematographer sit on a camera crane, preparing to shoot a scene on the set of Pichel's film, 'Destination Moon.' There is a painted celestial backdrop with mountains on the horizon.

We, who helped financially to get this developed, have been waiting five months since we were supposed to receive it. The Printers made mistakes and needed correction.
Well worth the wait. Gorgeously printed. Over a hundred great artists celebrate Mars Attacks with great imaginative artwork.
Mine comes with a different exclusive Cover Art by artist Glen Stone.
PLUS a copy of the Coloring Book and Set of 6 Art Prints.
The Art Prints are so fatty!
I will receive the coloring book shortly.

The Book with a cool collectable Book Marker is $50, and you can purchase it here.
