Candyman

Riverfront Arena
All the detail and suspense you'd expect from a Fall '76 Candyman. Nothing wrong with that shiz.

Playin' In The Band
April 13, 1971
Catholic Youth Center
Lesh's rather electric bass drives the train. They're still learning the song, but still bring some heat & drama - even without the jam.

Stompin' matrix and Kreutzmann's debut as a free man!

Tower Theatre
A fucking great NFA with killer crowd support. Sometimes I love AUDs. & Garcia: looking for trouble. Aluminum Style.

Runs on Kreutzmann adrenaline - set cruise control for serene.

Truckin'
Feb. 17, 1973
St. Paul Auditorium
Agreed on this show, in general. This Truckin' struts confidently through St. Paul. Bitchin' jam - low key sizzle.
St. Stephen
June 18, 1976
Capitol Theatre
Silky smooth Stephen. At its best, the 1976 St. Stephen is a vulnerable slow burn. This is a favorite - dynamic and detailed.
Terrapin Station
Nov. 24, 1979
Golden Hall, Community Concourse
What a smashing Terrapin! Mydland, of all people, some trance/drone stuff, and the whole group is crackling with energy. Forceful and tight. Unfairly overlooked prize!
St. Stephen
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre
Totally mastery. One of my all time favorites - into an mesmerizing jam into Mason's Children. Top o' the sleeve to you.
The Other One
April 5, 1969
Avalon Ballroom
I just think this one is unfairly overlooked. A little. Spirals out of control but never really loses control. Ferocious and merciless: Garcia's outta bounz.
