This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Really - one of my favorites.
They Love Each Other

Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

My favorite flav of They Love Each Other. Pretty much peak form. Can't decide if it's #1, but if it isn't, it's definitely in the conversation. Joyous.

One of my favorites. This is such a dominant, crystal clear show & this China>Rider fits the bill. Garcia is close to out of his mind. Well, they all are. High energy. High inventiveness. Low anxiety.

I love the patience in this NFA - especially Garcia who, at this juncture, picks practically right over the neck joint to get an especially warm, cooing, bubbly sound.

Hi-octane version, especially Weir's SG. Jeezus!
