Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Greek Theater

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Candyman
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Sit back and enjoy this rapturous goosebumps Candyman, immensely pocketed and stolen along, river trails, version.

Stunning BEW, slappin' and clean. The crowd is eating it up tonight, they love Jerry's every motion
Sugar Magnolia

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

This mega-burning Sugar Mag will have you positively seeing stars, sending that crowd out on a damn good high.
Black Peter

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

Holy crap. The guys pushing Black Peter into insanely drool-dripping territories, at the behest of Wood Shedding Jerry Garcia.

An experience and an incredible Eyesie from the songs most exploratory period, it could be said. This you can really luxuriate and appreicate each tiny movement. Retains its mysterious glory all the while. Feels like gliding through an icy cave cozy all the same. Each time. This one is really a keeper, and a doozie, though. The power and focus of the tornado conjured by the guys, coming through again and again, is enough to knock you back off your feet into the black crustacean waves only to be carried back to shore by sirens again
