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

Spanish Jam
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

absolutely insane '68 Spanish Jam. The lovey-dovey, flower power vibes of the era are thrown out the window and swapped for pure, dark menace. Phil is just out of control on this. Makes me want to check out the rest of the show.

https://youtu.be/-OWi1g8Xz5s?t=1374 Love watching the guys do this one on TV. Harmonies are on point and mickey is going nuts on this version, some might say he's overplaying but i fuckin love it. Jerry's SG tone is perfect.
