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

short but it rules. God their sound from 89 on is so fucking WEIRD and shiny and cool. No music sounds quite like this. this suite is always guided by what the drummers are doing and they don't disappoint. A cymbal-heavy performance on this one leaves lots of room for phil to do a walkabout and Healy and brent to get going. No-nonsense public access jingle Franklin's.

fabulous one. Exquisite starlight, swooshy bob, powerful inspiration section, Breezy gliding plinkatron funk jam. LOTS of midi.
