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

freakazoid mammoth S&D, so damn good.... happy sunday... 5/28 is yet another insane show from this era, there are dozens of concerts from the final 3 years of the godchauxs. i'm unsure if spring 77 or winter 78 really represents the apex.
