This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Mambo smambo. This one swings like a motherfucker! Should be higher in the strato-gallerie of Our Elders in the Tower of Happenings of and by the Circle. How is this not one the top C>Rs? A True Sizzl'r. Fuuuuck. Listen. Closely. From afar. Just listen!

The Other One

Texas Christian University

The Other Ones from this block of time are ridiculously inspired and inventive. Garcia, Lesh, and Kreutzmann take the cockpit for the most part. But early jazzbo Godchaux dividends are already being paid. So much is accomplished in just the first 8+ minute serving. When it pops up again, it explores deeply.
