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

This show is totally incredible, a magic and sparks filled 3 night run for the dead. Foolish heart and Box o'rain from this exemplify the dead, and the best deal ever, of course!

I now realize that i erroneously submitted "the first US blues" from feb 74, when there are actually several important 73 versions under the "Wave that flag" set of lyrics. Burning x1000, uber.
