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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Z04tD8_rs nice matrix-y source, economical but very impactful mydland years east coast gig. Opens set 2 and like the bird song before it glimpses melodic but cavernously abstract space. Lesh lovers pizza and taffy backing, pan seared Garcia finish, spiralling The eleven-esque mid section, you'd want a 90's end jam where they halve the length of the chord changes resulting in a more yacht rock feel but this one gets half way there with some creative fillings in
