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

automatically dank and heady, slow sphere orb help gives way to very hot Mothership jamming. Shadows breath of a smooth franklins>same thing with barrelhouse mariokart vibes to boot.

the glinting pain of recognition, seminal feeling of candyman or black peter on this, something to rile up the go down moses in ye. Tinky plinky plonkies to go round, kickin tempo and generally well-oiled makes for another great example of the tour's hot moments.

Generous melt into this smoldering EP. Heady weir rap. Leers and simmers over with jazzy funky midi.
