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

Capitol Theatre

By 76 this song was definitely tested, worn in, so on Slip they seriously just go. Extremely heady youtube of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEA5zgNk0ec That groove bobby instigates at 10:26, the rippling tidal waves of Mickeys virtuosic cymbal work, phil n bil bombing and crunching and jerry's mockingbird wail, an important early slip in new jersey, franklin's is jazzy immediate and punchin', just resplendent! /// What an amazing sound 76 has, so patient and exploratory.
