Cold Rain and Snow
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Perfect opening stride and tight as tupperware. Strong vocals and Kreutzmann's snare stand out. Easily one of the best. Has everything you want from Cold Rain & Snow.
Ramble On Rose

Winterland Arena

I was at 7/7/89 and it was swell. But comparing it to one from 1973 seems terribly unfair. This one is elite in every possible category. This is a favorite show - Kruetzmann's fabulous in the pocket all show. The start of this version showcases his groove. Guitars are ace.

Epic. As I knew it would be.

Tall & crisp. Not the precise, minutely-detailed fractal universe it was in Spring 77, but even when it's rough around the edges, it's elegantly so. A serious fucking Terrapin.

This classic always repays a visit. Simply one of the top 3 post-break TJs. And I love it nearly as much as '72. Just floats on a very earthy cloud. You know.
