At times pretty, at times a little weird, but somewhere past 8 minutes, it's downright gorgeous...

Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

Urgent and gorgeous, as most '76 Wheels are, in a Playin' sandwich to end the first set. Fantastic show!

Sun's gonna shine on my back door some day. March winds gonna blow all my troubles away. A beauty.

Agreed. This should be so much higher. Possibly the best ever.
Terrapin Station

Nassau Coliseum

Like the Althea from this show, really surprised this was never listed. There was nothing like a Dead show and, really, there was never anything quite like a Terrapin at a Dead show!!!!! This is a fine one. It was cut from the Go To Nassau disc, but the entire show is worth a lot of listens...

Smoking hot. Blistering. Ridiculous. All that.
