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

magical stella with some absolutely fantastic dual lead work from jg and bw at the end. No one does a ballad like these guys

Winterland Arena

So underrated. I just love 77, through and through and through. Stephen-esque spaciness looms throughout this mammoth version of the other one, especially in the lysergic second half.

What a treat this St. Stephen, cruisin' down a sunny highway at calm speed, smelling the roses all the while. '77 goodness.
