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

Truckin' up to buffalo, mothafucka!!!! How have I never seen this...... Amazing. Jerry's voice is stunningly incredible today. Mickey and Brent are feisty, filling in with bombs a-plenty. dynamite version pretty interesting rhythm toward the end of the solo! Notable for Bobby "High 5" countin during the solo section - king of polyrhythmic emphasis and that kind of interlocking singing that keith richards craved in mick taylor - the weaving
