Formula One cooker!! Maximum blown out bluegrass, dreamlike.

loose framework and kinetic devils make for a transparently unhinged EP. Hoarse disney villain melt to he's gone. Summer 84 flowing treasure.

Raucous bold brushstrokes of back porch shenanigans. Well-oiled

inspired, pouncy. They skip rocks with it, drifting on a reed

Here Comes Sunshine
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Here comes sunshine 1973 is really one of those unbeatable song/year combos for me, like a Scarlet Fire from '77 or a lovelight from '69, there's just something about it. The whole band turning on in a big way. Taking the vacation together
Beat it on Down The Line

Sheeeeeee-it, looks like we've got an underrated show here. Nearly 4 hours of summer '73 bliss at Watkins Glen. Burning burning burning beat it.
Box of Rain
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Such a long time to be gone and such a short time to be there. yeah, an amazing box of rain on this show. I definitely would have started crying during this song and kept my grateful eye shedding going into that fat juicy 73 here comes sunshine. Here's the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9lsWCYKgvI
Revolution

Whoa, marylandian insanity on this encore. A bust-out of an old distorted rave-up of a Beatles B-side, accompanied by Lennon's "Activism" type political screed. The hippie dippie vibe wins out and the song has always been a great one, especially in the slowed down "Revolution 1" white album style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3gaA4r_07Q very end!

Add it to the endless list of great cassidys, a headlong boppin' yet wise and wistful early bob weir tune
