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

breezy timbre and angelically reactive naturally pooling stirring the pot on this immensely chill version, second Walk me out is spine-tingling jerry vocal delivery and piercing existential crossroads. Dew lovers stuffed crust, get your score for this

Nassau Coliseum

yep, bombs awayyyy!!!! drum kits bluster into the plink circus grinning and soft shoeing for staircase hurling dentures! Spanish shredding and piano start this mammoth version. Fearlessly evocative experimental first episode not quite in the main riff yet, still easing through prior cycles, not yet in recognition, wincing, more fading rearviews and orbits still, then glares remind your memory's vision that the faster we go, the rounder we get.

beautiful impressionistic murk gives way to cyberjazz, which then ploys to more rays of beaming gliding tonal jam. Truly top notch, an arresting listen.
