Sugaree
June 4, 1976
Paramount Theatre

Another example of how Sugaree thrived in 6/76: Garcia's sweet, mellow, bubbly silver thread guitar and group dynamics both jaunty & subtle. Primo.

County Coliseum

If possible, a very contemplative TJ. Everyone's in apex '73 form, esp. Godchaux who's mixed fairly high to good effect.

Capitol Theater

Of the heavenly 1970 Capitol Theater St. Stephens. Just a beautiful union between audience and group. Killer Stephen! CRUNCH!

War Memorial

Show opener - the perseverence is what really sells me on this one. A struggle, but a worthy one b/c the spoils are lush. Sneaky great.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

Crazy overlooked: A noble, splendiferous C>R in full Europe 72-ness. Patient, exploratory, charming. Driving a distance? Pack this.

The Other One

Santa Rosa Fairgrounds

You a Caps fan, too? Wild game! And a wild show.

Overlook this show at yr peril - this fiery Other One is just another unique flavor of some top sleeve Dead. For all the great stuff in this show, this is a high point.

Labor Temple

Don't think is really short -- right in line for DS durations at that time. They started to get longer (N or 20 min) a couple of weeks later. This variety is dense - the SG crunching away. Effortlessly graceful.

Fillmore West

Another killer re-visit! Garcia's obviously the Cap'n here - and the group grants his every whim. I think I heard Lesh go, "My liege . . ." Rightfully.

Catholic Youth Center

Lesh leads the way with the redwood. You got that - most things just have a way of falling into place. But the whole group is in high-test form.
