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

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

ole faithful geyser of scarletfire goodness. Soaked in that party time devil may care energy that a lot of 81 performances have, continued from a rowdy set 1, funky unique melt, fire passes a polygraph and seeps in becoming gaseous, intangibly manic.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Glimmery speeding ticket 81 china rider. Fluid poseidon-kissed tiger work
Looks Like Rain
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Greek magic, autobahn rendering of a sleazeball sales pitch, everyone on thin ice in time for Phil oppenheimer rituals and overall kung fu. 60% of the time LLR slaps every time. Snowy and beefy unstoppable pedal/rack sound
Bird Song
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

dark unhinged tunnels of freaky jam on this mammoth lockheed bird
Shakedown Street
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Slinky down the steps of the greek, escalator of nasty feverish tone, xxxtra helping of grit
