Whopping marimba-laden, a hot, and wobbly excursion into '84 Space. Luxuriantly gorgeous though threatening.

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.
