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

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

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.

Love this time in Dark Star history. Wide open and joyous. And Garcia doing a commercial for Gibson.

Shrine Auditorium

Mammoth Car. Full throttle. Another great advert for 1976 Other Ones. Come visit! Vaya con dios. Lesh and Garcia co-captain.

By this time, Tennessee Jed's a slow-walking character study. And sizzlin'.

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