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

You know it's going to be a mammoth set when they cover a 12-minute, 1,000000 word dylan song in set 1. heady in the abstract sense, but it's driving and quite somethin'.

Really sparkling and lush. Its great stuff, shows the kind of rhythmic complexity of the Row Jimmy chord changes in a fast way. heady midi stuff

Some barrelhouse fun with bob. Some really cute moments with Jerry and Vince having some fun. Overall a tight rendition.
