Wharf Rat
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Triumphant entrance and the group takes nothing for granted thereafter.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 23, 1976
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

The recording is not at all a barrier to grooving on this monster wave. Pacing is perfect - they got progressively faster as time went by and some soul was lost. Garcia never takes the easy way out! That's why I'll follow wherever.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 3, 1976
Cobo Arena

Tight & detailed. One reason why we celebrate The Lord's Year 1976.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 23, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Lesh's bass. Just insane.
The Other One
July 2, 1971
Fillmore West

Yeah - DS67: possibly my favorite year for The Other One. Largely, because of the bass.
