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

Totally catches fire. This long jazzy DS cut is elegant and gorgeous. Winter 73 bliss 'n' glory. Notable for the sensitive, pristine WRS before and a blanketed, heavy swooshie Eyesie succeeding.

Hey phigment, the 80's and Brent is when "Cassidy" started getting pretty improvisational. I can't pull a specific version out of my ass but head to those late decades.
