This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 23, 1972
Academy of Music

Kick-ass China > Rider! They're just playing with us during the jams - especially Garcia who knows, by now, he can do pretty much anything. But the whole band is in Sick Zone 7.

Yes, I said Sick Zone 7. Standing by that.
The Eleven

Fillmore West

Spiraling completely out of control at times but never even close to being out of control. Is there a moment in these Fillmore West shows that aren't exactly what you want at that moment? 1969 band firing on all cylinders - however many cylinders are involved. Don't know cars.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

An easy, sure-footed envoy from ... who knows? Almost indulgent - for the audience. Like getting handed a hot towel at the snap of your fingers. Tips appreciated.
Estimated Prophet

Winterland Arena

Always forgetting about these shows! This one is Eve Brady and never gets enough praise, encouragement, counseling. This Estimated is inspired, tight as a drum. Garcia happy to share with his hometown the progress he's made on the MuTron. This rendition gets lost in a forest full of beautiful Estimateds, but deserves more sunlight.
