Relaxed and joyous space-age electric guitar semi-ballad.

Capitol Theater

Warp speed, precise, slightly unhinged, and driving into the greenish-blue evening.

Taft Auditorium

Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

A giggly, slangy Garcia masterpiece (in sweet show sauce). Goes down EZ.

Playin' In The Band

Oklahoma City Music Hall

If you like the electric guitar, this is a highlight. Hear how two great and entirely different guitar players work off each other. Oh yeah - and the rest of the group is right up there in the rarified air. This rendition excels completely - not a surprise coming from this tour.
The Other One
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Proves that the group could have a light touch and swing w/two drummers. Garcia's firefly guitar sets the tone, however. Another sweet '76 Other One in the bank.

Boston Music Hall

A beautiful, smooth version. Godchaux's accent are dope. Garcia's silvery guitar break is sublime.
