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

Rather heady, well-oiled selection. specially the spectrum is a spectral spot for the crew to bust out a "14th album" cut as it were. i'll take it over some of them... lyrics kind of in the tradition of his beloved willie dixon, drenched in midi and trancey bliss.

Luxuriant, elevated, seminal. generously restorative, invigorating. Bruce, a whole lot of tornado blow ups and fallback. the disco of the gods....

pitch perfect, heady screaming and religious fervor on this fanatically great swooper of chonky drawbar and phillin' up the holes in the aged swiss texture of a resplendently punky twinkly folkie tribute.
