Bird Song

Nassau Coliseum

Incredibly light on its feet for such heaviness. Top flight.
Scarlet Begonias
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

About two minutes in I realized that the whole band was surging forward like a luxury liner. Music plays band.
Wharf Rat

Paramount Theatre

Crazy Fingers

Paramount Theatre

Deeply felt, gorgeous. Truly plays out like a movie. An intense movie: an attendee loses his/her shit completely during one of the choruses. Like they just found out Deppler's mother is actually Keppler's accountant.
The Eleven
April 13, 1969
Ballroom

I think there's a reason Garcia looks like a right-handed Tony Iommi in pix from this show.
