Ballsy strut. Donna and Bobby are perfectly in sync, the mix is great, and Jerry's on fire. Check out the Miller cleanup.

Baffling that this isn't here yet. Perfect tight ensemble playing, exhuberence and one idea flowing into another. Great recent C.Miller cleanup too.

Beautifully cleaned up version up now showcases the tight ensemble playing here. Bobby's tone is crystal clear and his fills are a treat to hear.

If you've passed by this show, you're missing out a sweetheart of a Roses here. Check out the new C.Miller clean pane of glass in the window.

Might As Well

New C.Miller cleanup (10/17) brings in the love. Brilliant show opener with everything '76 has to offer: Hot mellow, lyricisms, and DJG at her best.

Blow Away
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

You're a bunch of loons. This one sucks. Real heads know that the best ever was at the free show at Sprekels Bandshell in Golden Gate Park back in '67. I know because I had it on a Maxell 46min cassette that I traded away for a ride up to Buffalo back in '74.
Playin' In The Band

Swirling and swimmingly intricate and exploratory. Never gets dull, but cruises along at high speed into two very interesting, musically challenging Supplication transitions.

Tight and right. Great harp solo, and of course Pig's voice is perfect.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Golden Hall

Nice biting tone and electrified feel to the CC, reminding that the early Dead were a combination of sweet country cowboy poetry, and dangerous hard acid rock. The IKYR also plays in this open place. Nice version, and thanks for DP35! What a treat of a show.
Hard to Handle

Golden Hall

Hot and greasy, like the best of them. I love how Phil just floors it around minute six. But this one doesn't quite shoot me over the falls in a barrel the way some do: Bobby's solo is a bit limp by comparison to others from this era and the crescendo before the final verse drops out before Pigpen comes back in. There are so many great ones to choose from in '71. Check out the April Fillmore East shows, ouch!
