Catholic Youth Center

Lesh's rather electric bass drives the train. They're still learning the song, but still bring some heat & drama - even without the jam.

Capitol Theater

Stompin' matrix and Kreutzmann's debut as a free man!

Not Fade Away

Tower Theatre

A fucking great NFA with killer crowd support. Sometimes I love AUDs. & Garcia: looking for trouble. Aluminum Style.

Runs on Kreutzmann adrenaline - set cruise control for serene.

Truckin'

Seattle Center Arena

Easily overlooked show - the Truckin' opener is a giant tidal wave red carpet.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 25, 1977
Capitol Theater

Sounds like no other - definitely transitional, but full of the kind of excitement that brings.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Contempla\tive. The backslash stands for quality.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 7, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

Ry-krispy! Not sure how this didn't move some people, but people's people. Hi-Octane! Almost said Hi-Rocktane, which would have been unfortunate.
The Other One
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

Partial to 1971 Other Ones as I am, I endorse this version as merely another insane stand-out. Top-sleeve shit.
China Cat Sunflower
Feb. 23, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

No other band has ever sounded like this. Crazy. Great segue.
