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.

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.

Family Dog at the Great Highway

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

Lovely '76 Music - practically writes itself.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Nice connection DS67! This is a pretty kick-ass show all around. Only recently dove in.
Estimated Prophet
April 22, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Smooth as silk. I like the concise goo of May 1977, but this stands right up with any. Garcia just fucking tears up the break. Sometimes these extended jams get lumbering - not this'n. Exquisite outro.
Scarlet Begonias
July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Sweet Scarlet whether audience or Dave's Pick. I, too, have much love for the stand-alone Scarlets. Perfected in 1976.
