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

its a show like this from "Terrapin Station" tour that makes me wish Donna had better monitoring or in-ear, something, to keep up with everyone else in turms of amplification. This is a really nice building type of thing, pretty stuff in 77.

Wow, 16 votes. Stellar and skyrocketing prime 77. Gotta love the vibe of that Betty Board also.
Big Railroad Blues

The Spectrum

Probably my favorite one of these, menacingly burnin'. 36 is really one of my favorite Dick's Picks, the Spectrum is always a special spot, and you can't go wrong with these 72 selections, there are many ridiculously great versions on this album. Worth multiple listens.
