This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

The whole band is just luxuriating - taking it all in. Searing, gluey slide work by Garcia.
Mexicali Blues
Oct. 24, 1971
Easttown Theatre

Out of the gates Garcia's got the whole Basie orchestra out in the desert.
Dark Star
April 23, 1969
The Ark

Three minutes in and I'm hiding under a desk! Any desk! Then it gets conversational, people working out community problems TOGETHER. Dark Star is a garden of sound when delivered like this.

Weir is skiing the mighty SG on this baby! Garcia lays low until its time to make his comments. The GD in kinetic form.

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Intimate like no one else. Jazzbos Garcia and Kreutzmann kinda lead the charge into some lovely loft space jams.
