"Astrophysics, Biology and the Grateful Dead. One theory I have is that there are a few moments in the Scarlet Jam Greek 84 which are quintessential pivotal moments in the history of the Grateful Dead as well as the Universe. Of course there is always infinity, and gravity, the time/space continuum, or not, electro-magnetic forces, strong and weak nuclear reactions, matter and energy, and various givens, and various theologies. But I believe the section of Grateful Dead, and Jerry's playing from about 11:00 minutes to post 11:17 in Scarlet Touch Fire Greek 84 is the key pivotal moment in the entire history of the Universe. Yes, there are always these key moments, but this one is special. Check out this recording. The whole thing is the context, within everything else, including all Grateful Dead. But listen close 11:00>11:09, 11:12>11:13 Jerry completes the greatest lick ever, leading into the "twirl down" in the 11:15>11:17 range where my entire brain is always re-written, or at least "refreshed", re-aligning all that needs to be re-aligned. For me, this is the greatest Grateful Dead moment recorded. In a sense it was all uphill to here, and all downhill after (kind of going on the Alpine 89 phrase theme). Always a fractal on an exponential curve, and always a non-linear conduit. Those licks bridge a big gap for me. They tie the entire Universe together."
