ATOMIC! Garcia's subversive wah work only makes the area less safe for the public.

Searing version - groovy false start, then Garcia soars like an acrobat. Plug in!

CRUSH. Hard to believe they brought this intensity and dynamic precision all the time then, but they did! Ace!

Unknown Genre - iTunes. Kreutzmann drives this hovercraft - as he seems to in all of the great Berthas of this time. Look out for the guitars.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Practice Studio

Have always loved the San Venetia tapes - almost like an x-ray of the GD. You can so hear the guitar architecture. So tempted to make that one word.

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!

And Godchaux's so into it, he plays an extra chord at the end for good measure!

This is the version you want: https://archive.org/details/gd71-11-14.sbd.miller.23568.sbeok.shnf - wonderful show.

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.
