Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 17, 1972
Fox Theatre

Where has this one been hiding? Everything works in this Playin' - absolutely should carry more rep. Just spectacular (my Dad's new favorite word).
New Potato Caboose

Carousel Ballroom

A very pleasant re-visit. And DS67 is right: toothless crone is a highlight.
Cryptical Envelopment

Carousel Ballroom

A bracing kick in the teeth, this'n. Great, great show.
Stella Blue

Hampton Coliseum

It's a CRAZY version. Cathartic.
The Other One

McArthur Court, University of Oregon

Garcia is just blow torching everything. Slash & burn guitar. You barely notice that Hart can't find the 1 at different points. The rest of the band is so primed, it doesn't matter.
