I don't know - sort of sounded like a Monkees' version. It WAS 1965, there was a lot of musical cross-pollination with people doing everybody's songs, moving from one band to another. I'm not a deadhead but it sounds fairly typical of the "throw everything into the pot" (no pun intended) style they had. "Mindbender" ain't bad. And "I Know You Rider" is pretty good too. One reviewer described it "like the Archies on MDT" - you young'uns will have to look up the Archies for an interpretation - I'm not sure who these days would be comparable.
