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

The Other One
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Casting a spell at the orpheum on drums>too>eyes>jam>reprise>gdtrfb! easily brewing the type of chonkiness that brings a new third decker to your bus. Weir and Godchaux's support on both post song jams is sparkly and invaluable. daydream's breath of a smooth eyesie into another long creative passage, this one infusing a natural easy melodicism into the former's stream of consciousness broodings. it all culminates in a crocheting phishy weave over goin down the road. excellent music tonight 'ndeed.
Comes A Time

Orpheum Theatre

out of, gently within, and into spaciness. Positioned for set 2 liftoff, this perfect comes a time speaks to 76's patient, brimming and grinning water/air ness. whole thing is imbued with absence and regretful desire. hymnal. Weepy beane masterclass gets into a fender bender with the imagination of hopped up devils and lesh through island euphoria, past innocence into murkier joys, a contentment in the stillness between emotional states.
