Here Comes Sunshine
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Effortless, telepathic stufffff.
Estimated Prophet
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

Textbook - with Godchaux's slightly reggae clavinet and Garcia a wandering envelope minstrel. Very sweet turn into He's Gone's driveway.
Sugaree
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

A beautiful, majestic treat (my favorite era for Sugarees) - Godchaux leading the charge with urbane, instructive soliloquies from the guy with the aluminum guitar.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

Nice crispy delicacy - on a matrix plate. Weir's having some guitar fun during the coda.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

A rich, live, especially present version (especially on the matrix) - Garcia skittering nicely. Then all of a sudden Albert Ayler appears.
