Beautiful version. Several very good versions of this song across April 1978, this one being my favorite.

1978: Prime weather for Candyman. This performance, like many from then, highlights the bleak world of the narrator. Garcia's break: spidery.

From Garcia's cheeky intro on, this graceful cabochon throws a faint, warm light. 1976 elegance w/a sick, raw spider web guitar break.

Brent's piano is a major factor in this hot version. Tempo is just exactly perfect.

Really nice, second song of 1st set!

Premiere version from the middle/acoustic set. Audible buzz on the SBD, but worth the historic interest and for Jerry's wordless penultimate verse.

There's a Betty Board of this one available. And it's gorgeous. What's stopping you?

Wonderful rendering heartfelt from Jerry.

Vocals start out a little creaky but loosen up as the song builds as a cool dimension to the outstanding playing on this one. Beginning of a greattour

JG sings this one so perfectly and then whips out the silver spacefinger lead.

Trippy underwater solo like the 2/24/73 version. Only a couple months away and the resurrection of this tune starting up.

Dreamy, motionless rendition on a sea of individual human reactions [audience tape]. A wonderful time for this gem.
