Primal forces arise where air, land and water meet. Descent, dissolution, chaos, surrender, transcendence. "Shall we go, you and I..."

Ahem. With all due respect, and gratitude for posting the track, the name of the venue was "Family Dog ON The Great Highway", not "Family Dog AT The Great Highway".
I am apparently doomed to spend the rest of my natural life pointing this out to Deadheads.

Well now I know, so thanks.

[@oughtssought1198]

but bless their Deadly pointed heads despite your spendthrift doom
& may your natural life be as restfully accurate
as Bobby's legendary likable "Swiss watch"
