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

DS67: That would be insane. So cool they still get a kick out of being appreciated!

DS67 - I agree totally, but I love the Ken/Judy Lee recordings. To me, they put you *there* in ways a soundboard never could. If, for some reason, they put out a Dave's Picks of the Lee recording of this show, I'd still buy it. It's a wonderful document of a great band at their peak completely blowing minds in an enclosed space. Very hard to top. This is absolutely in the same sweet place as the great 1970 performances: 2/13, 5/2, and 9/19. It might actually be crazier.

Swagger and cruising speed. Lesh and Godchaux push this one into hop forward territory. Garcia and Weir go around breaking things. Flavor Country.
