Truckin'
Jan. 24, 1971
Seattle Center Arena

Easily overlooked show - the Truckin' opener is a giant tidal wave red carpet.

Not Fade Away
March 21, 1972
Academy of Music

Picture Perfeck Academy of Music NFA! Kreutzmann and Weir scoot this gem along.

The Other One
Dec. 12, 1970
Santa Rosa Fairgrounds

Adventure soundtrack - the group plays out a number of scenes. Garcia's the acrobatic narrator for the most part. Superb and interactive.

Thelma Theater

Big and round. Lesh is the wacked-out chauffeur. What a cool, bizarre run.

Big River
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

A strike-zone era Big River. Smooth & prickly.

Can't get behind this one - the drums are simply out-of-sync. To me, there is no groove. Too bad, b/c the rest of song does sorta cook. Excellent show overall, too.

Paramount Theatre

High in quality. A spring in its step.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

Happy re-acquaintance! Or Re-happy-acquaintance! Or Hap-Rippy-Paloma-Snake! Best of May 1977? Probably not, but who cares? The margins are slim. Either way, we're in the black.
Estimated Prophet

Paramount Theatre

Nice re-visit. Solid as a rock. Strong.
Scarlet Begonias
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Has everything you need. Bananas show, in general. Smokin' version.
