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

excellent, spritely tadpoles on a meltkissed brook. Unique and hot chicago jam to follow. Aromas of Stranger and dancin' blended in with old school Feelin' groovy Tighten up/Hard to handle/Soul vibes. Mesmerizing and radiant passage of virtuosity effortlessly woven into deep groove. Powerfully kinetic.
