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

indeed this one cooks!! Look out for trappings of desireless voids of spiring tentacling electronic experimentations in addition to stairways to glory. The proportions on this 84 ((that summer- think barband socratic trials of spacey uniquely delivered if not so much selected hard-edged gobblings in their sets, lots of folk and roots stuff)) predrums are maximally circadian with notes of pacific optimism rainbowing after days of storm, rieslings flowing. they land brooding and spectacular stirring the pot through a generous runtime for the era, limber and chasing dreams!! Psychy rivers to see go

Wobbly and weird, bleary and mythical, terrific mydland work. This one is ethereal break out the shawls, nag champa and i chings. Blistering suitcase turtle with resplendently doom and gloom melodic

gently laser percolating with such a deep great resonant performance from garcia. Breathy atrium creme brulee of a final jam, gossamer and miming the rituals of muse tidal waves.

Orlando Arena

first one after the greensboro Magna carta olympic gold eyesie. This one is special in its own right, the magic rubs off on this Orlando version's organically patient peaks and subtle tone shifts. Heartwarming pining syrupy jam sandwiching ambient ambitions and decorative garnishings of starkly adorned, artificially lit cinema. Petals blooming as timelapses of generations of species to scorche and rebirth the earth until the gods intervene. Juggles mariokart and classic tiger-style blissy glory with aplomb. It's terrific
