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

massively underrated. Sound quality is stunning on Charlie Miller's transfer. simmers for a while in jungle fusion land, the four-limbed beast going strong. Keith's Moog is totally wack job. Goes into some Spanish Jam esque stuff. this is for sure an overlooked PITB that shows that the tune still had some mileage after the one-drummer years.
