ambitious, abstract, and involved in the multi-dimensional trappings. Plenty of curiosity but tethered to that amazing 2nd-set logic

God damn they sound amazing.... I do prefer the late 70's for NFA but god damn this one earns my respect big time. The china cat weaving and that amazing jam before GDTRFB are a prime showcase of Dead creativity and interplay. They get super out of control on this version, and yet they intersperse the firestorm with the most gorgeous soft passages, it's truly a must hear.
