That's a great Ship of Fools rendition tho I'd only heard the record version and an alternate outtake
Aye, Hunter is vivid and bluesy, ott ambiguous at times but it’s the harmonics and chord changes which move my soul, if that makes sense and with a live catalogue so broad you always have options
Althea is essentially someone pleading with an old friend (and the friend to themself) to quit, part romantic fuck bud love break masking a dark confessional and the whole Dead world was downhill all the way from said point on
Matrix ie soundboard/aud combo, you tell zee Krauts had stolen faces by the end of the final solo. The version on The Long Strange Trip doc has a decent Althea recommendation but this builds and builds mid tempo and then woosh, you’re off. Full glare of speedballing too, I despise the drug references with this act because they were beyond trivia and destroyed by it too but it’s not pretty
