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

Taft Auditorium

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.

Terrapin Station
Nov. 28, 1980
Lakeland Civic Center

A particularly present and cozy Terrapin. Attention to detail. Check. Breathy melodicism. Check. OK - this one's ready for display.

Orpheum Theater

This one has the magic. Garcia inhabits the story. Slow, elegiac - delivers the sweet stuff. And patient. Almost forgot patient.
Let It Grow

Orpheum Theater

Ripped my mustache right off! Run great show! RUN! Never look back! Be who you're meant to be! Whom?
Estimated Prophet

Springfield Civic Center

High energy, sprightly, bouncy, and (yes) fresh. (fresh) yes. High bounce, high spright. Garcia - a ride down the Nile.
Wharf Rat

Capitol Theater

Very tight, very playful. Fitting out the new threads. Lesh is more.
