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

Omg, how many times did the Dead play at Winterland ? It's for all intents and purposes, their home base of this decade, I would argue. Amazing, tight and classic Bertha kicking off this gig - always a fun one to time travel. It was on this day 41 years ago.
