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

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

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

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.

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