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

You know the guys are feelin' hot when they play this and here's a slow, down 'n' dirty groovy Winter 73 read of it

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
