Relaxed and joyous space-age electric guitar semi-ballad.

Capitol Theater

Warp speed, precise, slightly unhinged, and driving into the greenish-blue evening.

Taft Auditorium

Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

U.C.

A giggly, slangy Garcia masterpiece (in sweet show sauce). Goes down EZ.

Playin' In The Band
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Super lithe Playin' here. Garcia and Lesh practically speak in one voice at times.
Sugaree
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

The foot sits easy on the pedal on this one - the band is effortlessly able to shift between different dynamics almost imperceptibly.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Thanks Figgywithit I miss Jerry - this is worthy of sneaking onto the ship before it slips the dock. Super patient and squeezable version. A classic Scarlet>Fire.
Bird Song
July 4, 1981
Manor Downs

A (very nice) second set Bird Song. Part of a sweet, loose show.
Not Fade Away
March 21, 1970
Capitol Theater

The atmosphere of the 1970 Capitol shows is so immersive! Garcia and Lesh are in top quality form. A favorite NFA.
