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

not a perfunctory run-through, Texas charcoal-charred goods down and dirty on this one. psychedelic. has a wide open 77/78 embracing feel

all 80's candymen are dynamite. This one has a particularly funky undertone and adventurous comping. Thrilling peak at mr benson and the solo is immaculately poignant and weir keeps lacing it through and inspiring the others in his wake after.
