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

Eyes Of The World
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

Not really surprising that an Eyes at this particular point in time would be dreamy & iconic. Garcia is in top pointillistic form - the push and pull of aggressive and receptive. I also love that these guys could play a full arena and just let Garcia do a lengthy and beautiful soliloquy.

Dave says "radical explorations" - which is true.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Nov. 24, 1979
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Probably oughta have more support. Very dynamic, controlled Lost Sailor. Rhythm section - strong. Joy and swagger to be found herein.

A perfect version. Garcia's vocals are superb!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

Light touch from the drummers - interesting between times Scarlet. Then when things stretch out, the rubber meets the road. Or when the rubber meets the road, things stretch out. And get a little weird. And a spirited Fire.
