Warp speed, precise, slightly unhinged, and driving into the greenish-blue evening.

Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

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

Uptown Theatre

Nothing wrong with this one at all. Spirited, crispadelic. You could move into Lesh's bass for the winter!
The Eleven

Kings Beach Bowl

Garcia looping around the proceedings like a hummingbird. An inquisitive hummingbird.

1972 - Is there anything this band can't do?

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Sometimes 1971 is my favorite year of the Dead. The space, pace, and elbow grace in this is one of those times. Everyone just at the top of their game(s). Confidence, patience, trust in their fellow wanderers.

Bangor Municipal Auditorium

That beefy, caramel 4/71 bass - the band scatters paper airplanes throughout the room. Weir and Garcia - the customary byplay. Moneypenny!
