Oversight Alert! Conversational then a violent row ensues. A total taste treat. 1970.

Voice shot, Garcia hums through his spidery 13 lb. guitar. With a lovely China Cat peak @4:30.

7" perfect. Carrion_Crow has got it pegged: Garcia + Strat = The Sound of Electric Guitar In America. Perfection.

St. Paul Auditorium

ooooobie doooobie. This is a tasty piece of taffy. Matt & Dave agree - although they've said nothing.

Raw and kind of rip-snorting. Yeah - I know it's a ballad, but man: some underhanded intentions here. Sounds pretty much like the quartet on this one - love that band. They fill up the extra space by not filling up the extra space. You heard me.

Like walking into the middle of a conversation. A really interesting conversation. Beautiful, beaming cross-talk between Garcia, Weir, and Lesh. Yes, Carrion, overlooked a bit, but definitely a more reserved relative of the next night's roll out.

Eagles Auditorium

Love how this one opens - science fiction confusion! Just an electric socket of a show and ferociously good alchemy!!!! Nice tip - gets me into the whole show! Lovely transition into Caution, too.
