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

Playin' In The Band

Madison Square Garden

earns the upvote. Classic wavy grooves. Does not depart from the initial pulse but calmly gets more frantic if that makes sense... Clearly everyone is focused and wants to have a great show at msg.

effortlessly mammoth
Dupree's Diamond Blues

pure, aligned, ripping. Rolls away the yuppies and non-vagrants of our moats. busted out only twice after brent and this one rules a lot
He's Gone

Cumberland County Civic Center

Feels like a debauched rim dip poke warts and all, in the spring tour scene. Whole show is mega articulated and precise, Jerry turns it into a sorority rally with smile smile smile!! Never too fast but still brimming with the conversational politeness that yields that pleasant platitude of a nice dead jam, what song is this

you could definitely take a bath in jerry's shattered vocal lead performance, a man on the edge for sure... searing. Haunting
