Playin' In The Band
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Taken at a refreshing, brisk pace. Kreutzmann's sticks barely touch skin at times - free and easy. Into UJB and back!

Melkweg

Effortless cozy rec-room vibe.
Estimated Prophet
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

High energy, a little raw (to good effect) - and Garcia just sluices throughout the coda, tight corners taken at liquid speed.
Scarlet Begonias

Philadelphia Civic Center

The rhythm section slashing and burning. Lesh is a crouching lotus. Or loutish crotch. Either way.
They Love Each Other
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Beautiful long intro - the guitars go deep Motown all through this one. Delicious. Capacious. Delaptious.
