A Garcia solo worth savoring. Very special.

Greek Theater

Ferocious but not reckless. Tremendous feeling and poise. The show as a whole seems woefully underrated.

Jerry soars from the first note while Brent's compI ng subtly shades darker. A mesmerizing gyre. Check out the fine Keshavan/Miller AUD.

I love the way Brent contributes to this delicate but sprightly Ship. Magical.

Uptown Theater

Fresh, rowdy, and fast. The way the band (mostly) keeps this from going off the rails is both thrilling and impressive.

County Coliseum

This brain-rattling is exactly what I needed to get through a trying afternoon.

Volcanic eruption. Cataclysmic.

There’s a lot to love here despite the relative brevity, not least of which is that sassy late ’69 – early ’70 cowbell I can’t get enough of.
