Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

Oh yeah - this one has all the components, including Garcia's swirling cotton candy guitar break. Delicious.

darkstar67: I could not agree more. Estimated outros [especially in '77] are a real highlight for me. I especially love them when you can hear some of the room/building itself. To be there then, Garcia's guitar must have seemed like an alien invasion. A very tuneful alien invasion.
