Candyman
June 4, 1976
Paramount Theatre
I have been on a 1976 kick lately and June of 1976 is generally very heady stuff, There is a nice funky swing, clear vocals, and tight jams. This particular version exudes all of these elements, truly a wonderful and fun recording of such a classic Grateful Dead song. Donna is in fine form as well on the backing vocals. Nice key splashes from Keith and the drummers sound good. Love the guitar breaks. gorgeous, unrushed, masterpiece. Lovely and what brings me back to these shows. ALso check out the Mission,might as well, and Samson from this evening for more heady beauty.
