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
Dec. 4, 1973
Cincinnati Gardens

Toe-toe-toe-tappin' - precise and really wild all at once b/c they perfectly follow Garcia's dynamic. They go as he goes. Dionysus & the Chorus. a-toe-toe-toe-toe-toe-toe-tappin.
Cumberland Blues
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Quick delivery, good communication, well-packed - an A+ eBayer! Jeez Lou-eeeeez.
Dark Star
April 27, 1969
Labor Temple

Very sharp focused and more than a little tense - a gorgeous '69 Dark Star.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Part quiet conversation just to/for you, part Cabaret show. Highly lovely Half-Step, almost a little timid at times (which works on this song). Nothing to fear out here.
The Other One
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

An opulent Other One even without the lush Estimated front room. Although I generally prefer Other Ones from 1968-73, this hot little number has the brass to go "hey! look at me, ma! top of the world, ma!" Wait - that doesn't end well. Forget it.
