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

Best prelude i've ever freakin' heard, and that's a guarantee! This playing is just so refined, tender and free. Part 1 is fire. And let it grow is a massive tornado version, Jerry fireworks abound, and then the guys even start improvising in a PITB-esque manner into china doll. This summer '74 show is aces back to back
