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.

U.C.

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

The Other One
May 1, 1970
Alfred College

Equal to the next night's behemoth or not, this Other One deserves its own sandwich at Parkway Deli. Blistering! I don't even know who to single out for praise. This one's just transcendent. I'll give it a Leonard Maltin.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

So velvety - velvety & brash. Solicitors. Like 7/5, Weir slashes/burns while Garcia builds the city - one squooshy building at a time.
Loser

Academy of Music

Yeah Carrion - the group is simultaneously full of vim and dozing in a hammock. Love this version - the guitars weave.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Wake up and smell the 11/8/1970 NFA! This is a heavy one. Superb show.
Easy Wind
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

Love this version - smooth transition from NFA and the swing just keeps swinging. A top 5 show and maybe the best Easy Wind among many really good ones at the time.
