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

He's Gone

Activity Center - University of Colorado

not sure how i missed this one... what a year for he's gone! Essen/rockpalast. Nassau. Amsterdam. this tune was a big part of all of those triumphs... and this one is really tight and jazzy in its own right, again every aspect of this one shines and glistens. such a tasty, gentle pastel hand-ground blend.

sun just came out, reaching for another american spirit and another dash of 81 love this time a spicy elm city Scarfire.. i just spent a year in nhv and was really stoked about catching phil with john scofield, john medeski and warren haynes... point being they love CT and this is yet another writhing embryonic egg of jerry's musical project with this song. Pre-transition alone is samurais at work
