Estimated Prophet
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

So so sooooo in the pocket. To me, these are the best Estimateds - the versions with the most gravitas. May 77. The group seems so attentive to every detail and still swings! The MuTron outro is the shit.
Dark Star
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Love this time in Dark Star history. Wide open and joyous. And Garcia doing a commercial for Gibson.
The Other One
Oct. 15, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

Mammoth Car. Full throttle. Another great advert for 1976 Other Ones. Come visit! Vaya con dios. Lesh and Garcia co-captain.
Tennessee Jed
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

By this time, Tennessee Jed's a slow-walking character study. And sizzlin'.
Weather Report Suite
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

One of my favorites. Kreutzmann's restrained, early groove sets the tone. Drawer: top.
