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

St. Stephen

Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium

love this version. Psychedelic as hell. You can physically feel the crowd's ecstatic reaction to hearing this rare treat. Stephen was only played 3 times in '83, having last been played just once in 79, and this here is the very final version of it in GD history.

Winsome debut of this. I always love to hear it and i was delighted when Billy Strings sang it with Kreutzmann at night 2 of their Red rocks thing (watched the livestream)
