The song was later covered by the Grateful Dead, who adopted it as part of their standard repertoire. Bob Weir is reported to have learned it from James “Curley” Cooke, a member of the Bay Area band A.B. Skhy. The earliest commercially released performance of the song by the Grateful Dead is from the Electric Theater in Chicago, on April 26, 1969, and is available on "Dick's Picks Volume 26". One of the earliest performances at the Matrix is available on archive.org recorded on December 4, 1966. The song continued to be performed regularly until Jerry Garcia's death and the end of the band in 1995. Since the Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995, the song continues to be a staple of the surviving members' performances.
