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.

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.
