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

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Perfect, thoughtful, volcanic, placid, all of the above. Melty goopy and funky. Tells a story in sound painting. I really like this song... has that LLR, let it grow uber earnest Barlow thing in spades. The theatrics on this splendid version take Indy to giddy new heavens, the floor loses it for jerry, but then when don't they. Shout out to weir for a triple shot of great jams
