Drop dead gorgeous, lithe, and restaurant quality perfect.

Clear To Hell - Hear how a luscious Candyman absorbs a crowd in NC.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 23, 1971
Capitol Theater

Lately I think of Port Chester. Fab 4 Alignment. Limber. Ambidextrous.

Boston Tea Party

The peak is like a merry-go-round spinning out of and back into control and then, albeit briefly, out and in of control again.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 17, 1972
Fox Theatre

Where has this one been hiding? Everything works in this Playin' - absolutely should carry more rep. Just spectacular (my Dad's new favorite word).
New Potato Caboose
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

A very pleasant re-visit. And DS67 is right: toothless crone is a highlight.
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

A bracing kick in the teeth, this'n. Great, great show.
Stella Blue
March 21, 1986
Hampton Coliseum

It's a CRAZY version. Cathartic.
The Other One
May 31, 1969
McArthur Court, University of Oregon

Garcia is just blow torching everything. Slash & burn guitar. You barely notice that Hart can't find the 1 at different points. The rest of the band is so primed, it doesn't matter.
