Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

Eyes Of The World
May 3, 1977
The Palladium

On a really nice audience like this it's easy to appreciate the abundance of gifts the Dead brought to town when they pulled out this Brandino sport shirt. A May '77 Eyes. Needn't say more.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 9, 1973
Roscoe Maples Pavilion - Stanford University

The only way this sounds like its the first one ever is in the sheer joy they bring to all of it. Lavish.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

A jumpin' rendition of an ol' favorite I'm sure the whole family loves. Garcia wastes no time scrunching into a snug envelope filter but teases right out of it. That's cheek!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Garcia makes his feelings felt after Weir comes in early with the third verse Rider and we all benefit! Garcia is Charles In Charge! Never forget that. Never. I'm kidding - yr a good kid.
The Other One
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West

Yeah people! Let's hear it for '69 Other Ones! This one's up there with one of those Ark Other Ones. Insane - everyone on stage.
