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

a tender, reactive, pastoral expanse of kind sound. brent contributes a lot. He relinquishes downbeat control to cowboy shenanigans from jerry and phil which get the whole thing ready to spider dance. quite a patient build. Every note is in place. Shows' also got a white water raft race of a Half step>Franklin's and a kind gorgeous Ramble>Music.
