The Eleven

Fillmore West

Garcia gets unhinged. And he never tires or runs out of fab ideas.
St. Stephen

Capitol Theatre

Maybe The One. 'specially in context.
The Eleven
Jan. 17, 1969
Civic Auditorium

Blasphemy, I know, but I think I like this one more than the famous 1/26/1969. There. I said it.
Shakedown Street
June 30, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

A summer smoker. Then a telepathic, wild side trip. I was at these two Merriweather shows (6/30 & 7/1) and they each had a number of vista cruiser moments - this Shakedown hovering right up there around the top. A classic.
Viola Lee Blues

The Ark

Slo-mo, hypnogogic, and dark, but Garcia keeps the mood frisky. Such a rich slow.
