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

Loser

Capitol Theater

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.

Sugaree

Auditorium Theatre

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.

Sugaree
Sept. 24, 1976
William and Mary College Hall

Agree w/darkstar67 and note that the Spring 76 Sugaree magic hadn't worn off by the fall. Interesting transition from one great phase of the song (6/76) to another (5/77).
Cold Rain and Snow
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Definitely one of my favorite Cold Rains, too. Garcia is a patient man. An early '78 highlight.
Playin' In The Band
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

A favorite show - ever. I often overlook this Playin' for all the gifts 5/19/1977 brings. That would be a mistake. A gaffe even. Corrected.
Big Railroad Blues
Nov. 12, 1971
San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Garcia-Godchaux-Kreutzmann are the mirepoix here. Season to taste.
Tennessee Jed
Oct. 27, 1971
Onondaga War Memorial

First Jed was the first Godchaux show. 10/19.
