This one's going to 12!  I've only heard "The New Mother Nature" a handful of times in my life.

BOS "O-o-h Child."  More fond 3WS memories.  This song really sounds best at 3:45am.

Much as I love the GF* & GW tunes, this is the most astonishing track of the set so far.  Wow!

Perhaps my favorite Dead song!  VHM to "Box of Rain."  Robert Hunter is a national treasure.

BOS for Phil and the boys' "Box of Rain".  Has the Dead ever been on 10at10 before?

Late-'70s shows up occasionally - "Alabama Getaway," "Althea," "China Cat Sunflower" - but I don't remember getting any American Beauty tracks before.

One of Hunter's best lyrics ever. Phil wrote this for his dying father, and took the melody to Hunter for his contribution. I recall reading Hunter saying "the words came as fast as the pen could pull..."

Proxy of Geoff & Ali. One more BOS here, too--AL's firing on all cylinders today.

One more great segue: Flip Wilson in drag as Geraldine, into the Kinks Lola.

Can't understand why she walk like a woman but talks like a man.

Nope, just being dim.  Of course, the Go to Heaven and later stuff has been on there a lot.  Oh well.
