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.

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

I know it - I think this show holds up very next to its Ark brethren. But the Ark trio would just make a tidy little case of fireworks.

a fresh '73 WPS is always welcome on these shores. But this one is sorta pointillic, he said, out of his ass. Crispedelic even. Garcia high steps out @12:00. High-end electric guitar improvisation. Improvisitation.

ARK, ARK, ARK . . . I'm sorry: I was lobbying for an official release of the Ark shows.

Most of my favorite Deals are on the early side - and this one is no different.

I completely concur ds67: this show is a total classic. Love all these 72 Paramount shows.
