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

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

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.

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

Paramount Northwest Theatre

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

Light as a feather. What a great pop standard this is! Weir is sneaky.

Classic Garcia Bakersfield Fender electricity. Flair, indeed.

Sweet, focused Jack Straw with its Fall '72 plumage.

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.
