Sugaree

Capitol Theatre

As much as I love May 77 Sugarees, Spring 76 is where it's at for me. Subtlety, separation, and Garcia's whispery, silver-dipped guitar breaks.

Candyman
April 19, 1978
Veterans Memorial Auditorium

1978: Prime weather for Candyman. This performance, like many from then, highlights the bleak world of the narrator. Garcia's break: spidery.

Bubbly, bratty storyboard version. Character & twang for miles. I'd pay to see this band. Two for a tenner? Four please.

Terrapin Station
April 27, 1977
Capitol Theatre

This is a very sweet Terrapin. Everyone's fired up to play it. All you need to do is watch the vid to see the pure joy this brings Garcia. Memorable.

Family Dog at the Great Highway

Oversight Alert! Conversational then a violent row ensues. A total taste treat. 1970.

With the new Dave's, I think this gets more votes. It is sweet. Of course, there were so many great Jack Straws at this time . . .

Weir on absolute fire. Magisterial. Majestic.

Yeah JoeyMC - ideal length for this one. Everything that needs to be said is said eloquently and also action packed.

And sounds very nice on Dave's 46.

Lean & mean. The subtle dynamic shifts are breathtaking.
