Not Fade Away
April 8, 1971
Boston Music Hall

Lesh is dominant here - as he is for much of '71 - but everyone has some time at the stove.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 23, 1970
McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

Super high-spirited, translucent Garcia playing, an atmosphere of respect and caring.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

Super resonant and top drawer.
Cumberland Blues
May 14, 1970
Merramec Community College

Yes. This one hits all the bullet points. Great country storytelling.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 27, 1971
Onondaga War Memorial
