A Garcia solo worth savoring. Very special.

Let It Grow

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.

Hampton Coliseum

Roller coaster outro rises, drops, and swerves again and again, led by Jerry at lightning speed.

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

Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

Hadn't heard this in a long time, then listened yesterday for the 50th anniversary and wooooooow. Jerry — is — on — fire. No wonder this one is ranked so high!
The Other One

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Phil seems to hint at the E-A-C jam from Music Never Stopped. Cool version.
Cumberland Blues

Omaha Civic Auditorium

“Precise” is right. Not a note out of place.
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 20, 1971
Capitol Theater

Well, this is just nuts.

Cincinnati Gardens

Yeah, Phil is all over this version. I wouldn’t say Jerry’s vocal delivery is lacking, though. He fumbles a lyric at the end, but the dynamics and feeling are all there. Great version, though. Casts a spell.
