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

Capitol Theater

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

Here Comes Sunshine
Sept. 26, 1973
War Memorial

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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 18, 1972
Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

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

Bird Song
Feb. 21, 1971
Capitol Theater

An intimate very early Bird Song - Quartet-styled, which serves this song really well. Also: you can hear the thinking, especially between guitars.

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 25, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Dave & me: this should have more votes. Sunshiney and tight as a fucking drum. Or durum wheat. Both. Neither. Bother. I've covered it all (pretty much). A great, undervalued Eyes O' the World.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

I like the ambience of the AUD. Lots of 1983 energy - Garcia aiming high. 13 lb. guitar and all. One of the better 80s Scarlet>Fires. BanD. Nice AUD participation early transition. Dies out just at the right time. Then some very high quality on-stage music.
The Music Never Stopped
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

That's a lot of Music tucked into <7 minutes. Really takes care of any Music Never Stopped needs.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Sing it, Doctoma!
Playin' In The Band
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

Dynamics laden!
