Truckin'
Jan. 24, 1971
Seattle Center Arena

Easily overlooked show - the Truckin' opener is a giant tidal wave red carpet.

Picture Perfeck Academy of Music NFA! Kreutzmann and Weir scoot this gem along.

The Other One
Dec. 12, 1970
Santa Rosa Fairgrounds

Adventure soundtrack - the group plays out a number of scenes. Garcia's the acrobatic narrator for the most part. Superb and interactive.

The Other One

Thelma Theater

Big and round. Lesh is the wacked-out chauffeur. What a cool, bizarre run.

Big River
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

A strike-zone era Big River. Smooth & prickly.

Playin' In The Band
Nov. 15, 1972
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.
Brown Eyed Women
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

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

Betty Nelson's Organic Raspberry Farm

High-speed pop song version! Killer!
The Eleven
