Really inspired, a kicking wisteria ode to the crackle of 72 versions. Long island love, big man goes off in this one, walls of devils too

Dead playing this in this year is like the beatles doing "all my loving" in 1964. It's a complete crystallization, and definition, of rock as art. Groovy and dirty mississippi and the ending jam ascends to the highest heavens

got a brilliant white-hot sheet of goosebumps at the opening notes of this. Yep, streaming platforms are the must for this show, no SBD source on archive. (i always try for a matrix) "Jerry's beatiful Fenario" version per a news clipping (http://www.gratefulseconds.com/2016/01/april-30-1977-my-only-dead-show-in-new.html) and it sure is lovely.... Solo is rousing. Verses are focused and elegant. F yeah
