Somewhere along there after MaMU, the collective thundering pulls you inside-out through some cosmic sock. As if you could even pay more attention. It seems you’ve already rejoined that evening in the halle (look, here’s the crumpled stub in my hand) via some twisted yet purely logical consciousness accelerator. Another show, another wild, intergalactic subway ride through the axis mundi to the universal Now. Something deep in the recesses of your psyche has “broke big as hell in Pittsburgh” and you’re positively groovin’ on the musical wave.

Well, the “good” stuff lives in all different places, and the post-verse wanderings keep that mystery alive -- and express it; if you participated in the proceedings as they unfolded, hopefully you became happily unhinged and had a safe and enjoyable landing. With Eyes there, you’re in the best of hands.

<< Sure, I'll go with that; whatever metaphor works, with "Bobby" and "transition" being both required and symbiotic.

This, and the whole recording, really showcases Weir's masterful strumming and vocals.
