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.

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

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.

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.
