Embryonic, unhinged and primal! Tiger lead is positively lacerating, everyone in attendance was split into dust

I love this June 1976 sound, Mickey is back in the gang everything has more possibilities, a touch more force.

Always like to hear this Phil and Peter monk concoction, it's just burning and reminds you that everyone in the Dead loved Presley's TCB band with James Burton, Jerry accomplice Ron Tutt, Jerry Scheff and Glenn D. Hardin. Gram and the Burritos, not to mention the New Riders, and Commander Cody, were all in pursuit of this kind of sound and the Dead are right there in that post-hippie Cali country milieu.
