Playin' In The Band
Complex and experimental around a Stephen>Wheel sandwich. Starts and ends in wild exhuberance, but has lots of spacebugs and dinosaurs in between.

Pretty Peggy O
A stunning gorgeous version, plenty of Jerry on this number. Relaxed ad beautiful version.

Looks Like Rain
No doubt there's a little schmaltz factor on the lyrics and all, but Bobby and Donna just wash over you on this one like a wave of lovely heartache.

Scarlet Begonias
From Phil's opening swoops to Jerry's passion-vox, and pristine soloing, this is a killer stand alone SB. Surprised it's not here yet.

The Wheel
Nice on its own, and brilliant as part of a great PITB-SS-Wheel-PITB sandwich. You can hear the fun their having. Short but sweet.

Sugaree
Few things better than a June '76 Sugaree. Garcia with the first Travis Bean just sketches with the lightest, barest of precious metal filaments.
