Camp Randall Field House

At :30 Pig switches from tambourine to organ and we're off! These early '71 performances showcase Kreutzmann reveling in sweet space. Driving.

Loser
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

A delicate, tight, searching super early version of a staple. Kruetzmann plays it light and springy and that 1971 Lesh caramel bass guitar!

Boston Music Hall

If you know this smooth customer of a show, you know how drynamic [yes, I typed that] and user friendly this TJ is. An always welcome visitor.

Sugaree
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Few things better than a June '76 Sugaree. Garcia with the first Travis Bean just sketches with the lightest, barest of precious metal filaments.

Tennessee Jed
July 22, 1972
Paramount Northwest Theatre

Summer '72 Jed: Sweet dynamics & precision engineering. Weir & Kreutzmann stir it up during Garcia's guitar break.

Playin' In The Band
July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

As song or suite, this is some preeminent '76 Playin' action. Top shelf.
The Wheel
July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

A sparkling, warm version of The Wheel. Like so many 1976 Wheels - emotional, deliberate, & crystalline w/some beautiful Garcia flourishes (sometimes of the Eastern variety). Part of a blistering second set. Extra bonus: a really nice audience recording does the trick.
Jack Straw
Aug. 4, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Center

What ds67 said. Great jazzbo bluegrass slalom.
The Eleven
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

One of the more perfect shows ever and a crushing Eleven.
Deal
March 20, 1971
University of Iowa

Garcia takes this one behind the shed. Searing guitar work and dedicated vocals. This Deal gets rip-roaring, but also almost dead quiet at times. Hi kwality!
