Lovely '76 Music - practically writes itself.
Cold Rain and Snow

Terrapin Station

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.
