At :30 Pig switches from tambourine to organ and we're off! These early '71 performances showcase Kreutzmann reveling in sweet space. Driving.

A delicate, tight, searching super early version of a staple. Kruetzmann plays it light and springy and that 1971 Lesh caramel bass guitar!

If you know this smooth customer of a show, you know how drynamic [yes, I typed that] and user friendly this TJ is. An always welcome visitor.

Sugaree

Auditorium Theatre

Few things better than a June '76 Sugaree. Garcia with the first Travis Bean just sketches with the lightest, barest of precious metal filaments.

Paramount Northwest Theatre

Summer '72 Jed: Sweet dynamics & precision engineering. Weir & Kreutzmann stir it up during Garcia's guitar break.

Eyes Of The World

War Memorial

The horn works a little less for me sixteen months later. Still give it a big thumbs up b/c the group is not really slowed down by any of it. They're in smooth-ass form.

Boston Music Hall

This is some pure '76 syncopated crossword puzzle magic. Never sounded like this before or after. What a great show.
Dark Star
Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

I'm with DS67 here - best 13 minute Dark Star ever. Better than many heralded longer ones, dare I say. Dare! Dare!
Eyes Of The World

Boston Garden

An almost liquid refreshment. Right around the peak of the two drummer Eyes. Smooth combustion. Complete control.

Majestic. An exemplar. #alwayswantedtousethatword
