Bartender says...hey! I like the Grateful Dead too. They play that song...what is it...Truckin'...that's it...Truckin. I like that song. What's your favorite Grateful Dead song?

The horse got a thoughtful look and stared into space for a full minute.

Finally, the bartender says...well, what's your favorite Grateful Dead song?

The horse continues to think.

After another minute, the bartender says...WELL?

Finally, the horse says...Well, I'm really partial to the China/Rider transition jam from Rhode Island on 6/26/74, but only when I can listen to it on a pair of bitchin' speakers that can sustain Phil's bass levels when I max him out on the equalizer and I can get Bobby's guitar just right in the mix so it sounds kind of like a "jangly" shuffle that is the perfect counterpoint to Jerry's high end.
