Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

horton field house on the horizon, cedar falls iowa in the rearview, scarfire magic is happening, as such this 3.0 rager is jester's hat right out of the gate. very substantial and rewarding version. Marvellous dynamics and mysterious melodies, fire is replete with great stuff, elegant easy wispy rhythms and Wolf throwing a tantrum.
