I. "Cryptical Envelopment" (Garcia) "Cryptical Envelopment" is one of the few Grateful Dead songs with lyrics written by Garcia. It was performed from 1967 to 1971 (when it was then dropped), and brought back for a few performances in 1985. Post-Grateful Dead bands such as
Dead & Company have returned to performing the song, sometimes as a standalone track separate from the rest of the suite.
