Sugaree
June 18, 1976
Capitol Theatre

As much as I love May 77 Sugarees, Spring 76 is where it's at for me. Subtlety, separation, and Garcia's whispery, silver-dipped guitar breaks.

Candyman
April 19, 1978
Veterans Memorial Auditorium

1978: Prime weather for Candyman. This performance, like many from then, highlights the bleak world of the narrator. Garcia's break: spidery.

Tennessee Jed

Allen Theatre

Bubbly, bratty storyboard version. Character & twang for miles. I'd pay to see this band. Two for a tenner? Four please.

Terrapin Station
April 27, 1977
Capitol Theatre

This is a very sweet Terrapin. Everyone's fired up to play it. All you need to do is watch the vid to see the pure joy this brings Garcia. Memorable.

The Other One
Feb. 28, 1970
Family Dog at the Great Highway

Oversight Alert! Conversational then a violent row ensues. A total taste treat. 1970.

Wharf Rat
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Triumphant entrance and the group takes nothing for granted thereafter.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 23, 1976
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

The recording is not at all a barrier to grooving on this monster wave. Pacing is perfect - they got progressively faster as time went by and some soul was lost. Garcia never takes the easy way out! That's why I'll follow wherever.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 3, 1976
Cobo Arena

Tight & detailed. One reason why we celebrate The Lord's Year 1976.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 23, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Lesh's bass. Just insane.
The Other One
July 2, 1971
Fillmore West

Yeah - DS67: possibly my favorite year for The Other One. Largely, because of the bass.
