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.

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

Dark Star
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

A very regal beagle. Every February 1969 Dark Star is special and unique. This one winds around in apparently boundless creative discovery. Garcia's take off @ 11:00 is memorable. Thus begins the golden age of Dark Star. And so it has been written.

Gulfstream Park Race Track

Agree - this one needs and deserves more action. Concise like the first Dark Stars, but also exploratory. Garcia getting used to being able to carry the conversation through high-speed channeling and old school Les Paul trickery.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 16, 1972
Boston Music Hall

Yo-yeah on the Sick Bits matrix. This is a wonderful Playin' and on the matrix you get enough atmosphere to feel the effect it had on the crowd, on the room. On the Crown. Beautiful subtlety. Kruetzmann is just a master. I know 9/15/72 much better, but this is one motherfucker of a show.
