The Other One
May 20, 1973
U.C.

Riveting, hi-octane blast! Garcia's taking the Strat into some fucking crazy places. This is a rainy day favorite - or any spare 10 minutes and 33 seconds.
Playin' In The Band
July 18, 1972
Rossevelt Stadium

Garcia with the half-closed wah - pure genius. Sounds almost Frippian at points.
Truckin'

Rossevelt Stadium

Sort of shocked this one's as far down as it is - I think this an all-timer.

Insane transition. And then a zesty version.
