Originally from the "Thank You" LP, Sly and the Family Stone. 1970 or 1971, I can't remember.
Debuted as a DMB song once in 2004, then didn't come back until 2008. Was used as the encore closer to the first show of the 2008 Summer tour. Then was used extensively (most hardcore fans would say excessively) for the first half of the Summer tour as an encore closer. It now seems to be played a little less sparingly, although it did close out the final nights of all 3 of the "big venues" of the 2008 summer tour: SPAC 6/21, Alpine Valley 8/10, and Gorge Ampitheatre 8/31.
Personally, I like this cover more than most people seem to. 'twas a great song to begin with, and then Dave came in and gave it a fresh coat of paint and a little bit of jazz. Fonzie is a fuckin animal on this.
