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

I just had to listen to this three times in a row - every decision made by the guys in this version feels like a tantric alignment. Top form in terms of the song itself, and just all the playing and vocals. It's icy and dreamy
