Sugaree

Paramount Theatre

Another example of how Sugaree thrived in 6/76: Garcia's sweet, mellow, bubbly silver thread guitar and group dynamics both jaunty & subtle. Primo.

If possible, a very contemplative TJ. Everyone's in apex '73 form, esp. Godchaux who's mixed fairly high to good effect.

Of the heavenly 1970 Capitol Theater St. Stephens. Just a beautiful union between audience and group. Killer Stephen! CRUNCH!

Show opener - the perseverence is what really sells me on this one. A struggle, but a worthy one b/c the spoils are lush. Sneaky great.

Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

Crazy overlooked: A noble, splendiferous C>R in full Europe 72-ness. Patient, exploratory, charming. Driving a distance? Pack this.

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.
