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.

Truckin'
July 18, 1972
Rossevelt Stadium

An absolute top 3 Truckin' - the improv is just evil! Garcia's channeling Jimmy Page at times. Crazy. Masterful.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

An elite China>Rider all the better for the absence of the "Feelin' Groovy Jam"
Big River
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

What a smoooooth machine.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

At least it caused me to re-visit this delightful couplet. One of the all-timers. The Fall '77 backlash is funny - just shows how weird people are. In general. All that said, this still isn't in the 5/8 biozone. 5/8 is so fluid and Fred Astaire effortless. And yet sweaty.

With you. The new format is a drag.
