Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

Terrapin Station
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Top tier Terrapin. Love the pace. They mosdef played Terrapin on 5/7/1977 and it swung like a motherfucker.

Allen Theatre

Just the right touch. Another up vote for Fall71. The E72 crew is just about there, but I love all of the iterations leading up to that classic group. Lesh gets a little quiet spotlight action. Well-earned.
Ramble On Rose
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Garcia - the perfect guitar/song formula. Wire-on-magnet opening. Obvious cool stuff to come. An unheralded time period for a bunch of great songs. Edgier than E72 but still total confidence and dominance. This is also a beautiful recording. Fall71 man.
The Other One
Nov. 16, 1970
Fillmore East

Well said DS67. Enjoying a nice re-visit to this perfect pine cone. An all-timer.
The Eleven

Greek Theatre - University of California

Oh yeah: this beast. GRX speed. So be careful. Garcia's from another planet obviously. Obviously.
