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

extremely fast, devils nearly going off the rails but the chaos makes it more beautiful. ethereally gorgeous synth work from brent. soaring jerry and crazy midi. All in all definitely a big eyesie, more than goodish this Seurat-esque version foreshadows the tribal ambient manifestos to come
