RFK Stadium

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

Bertha
Feb. 21, 1971
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.

Brown Eyed Women

U.C.

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

Terrapin Station
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

This has that nice push-and-pull the greatest ones have. Everyone's in sync. Light all day and watching the Dead in a high school auditorium must have been crazy.
The Eleven
March 28, 1969
Student Center

Has all the luxury accoutrements one would expect of a March 1969 Eleven played at a junior college.
St. Stephen
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Meanwhile, back at the song: A great, black hole version. Garcia has the flashlight.
Dark Star
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Dark Stars played in cozy clubs are made for the proud AUDIENCE tape. Feel the walls; hear the linoleum. And this Dark Star is so intimate and interactive. A fave: the subterranean plot in this one sets it apart.
Let It Grow
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

Listen to Garcia keeping it cool while the group around him is perfect controlled chaos.
