Intensified

Lyrics: Desmond Dekker, Leskie Kong
Music: Desmond Dekker, Leskie Kong

Played by Bill Kreutzmann's trio BK3 on 6 March 2008, with Mike Gordon sitting in. At the end of the song, there's this exchange:

Scott Murawski: Mike Gordon (applause. You know, the beautiful thing about this is that Mike is the one that put this whole band together - he knew all of us seperately.

Oteil Burbridge(?): This should really be called the Mike Gordon Band. just like Scott said, without Mike we would never have met each other.

Mike Gordon: I'm hoping my next career is rock 'n' roll curator. This is my first gig as curator.
Lyrics:
We're having a party, hope you are hearty
We're having a party, hope you feel hearty
