Althea
Oct. 12, 1981
Olympia Halle
This show, for some reason or another, looks to be overlooked, take one listen to the Estimated>Gdtrfb from later in the 2nd set, it becomes painfully apparent how seriously locked in they are, all of the soloing is just fueled and flying. Throughout the entire show, for a matter of fact, Garcia is absolutely on fire, clicking on all cylinders, and shredding the shit out of songs. It sounds, also, as a side note, that Garcia is playing so furiously, that he might be pissed off. This Althea, by the way, features some excellent licks, and appears to my ears as one of the best versions of the year.
