I'll cop to being a Corrina fan...and I didn't hear Samba in the Rain that much ...but I dug that one too.

I'm a big Corrina fan when Ratdog plays it - very nice. Maybe the GD never had enough time with it to let it get really humming.

fwiw, I first saw them do this song at Autzen in the early 90's, and when Bobby/Jerry hit the vocal line Co-Ri-Naaaaaaaaaa, I was like... Oh Maaan.
That's probably why I don't have a good feeling for it as a Dead song.

We called 'em "bathroom songs" because you could go to the bathroom and not feel like you missed anything! Most of Bob's cowboy tunes got old after awhile, if I was on tour, but it's tough because on so many of them, they could just hit it right and it would melt me! I think I liked all the songs, but, ahem, wasn't much of a fan of drums/space....flame away....
