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

In a thick meaty and juicy sequence with Terrapin->Drums, then the mythical of "Jerry Space"-> Stephen->Nfa. This TOO is awesome, jazzy stretched-out galloping and skipping through trails that a grateful beggar might have left behind in the many-constellated sky. Crunchingly, skull deep - approaching punk or metal? Idk if that far, but this TOO is just vicious! The dead going allllll the way in Eugene OR. INHALER ON HOLD

Essential "primordial glowing goo" 1978 version of the stuff that Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, eternal pranksters of the skins and sticks, would make their bread and butter on in the decades to follow. gorgeous, ephemeral and shooting off in staggered electric shock directions!!!! the boys can do no wrong
