ATOMIC! Garcia's subversive wah work only makes the area less safe for the public.

Searing version - groovy false start, then Garcia soars like an acrobat. Plug in!

CRUSH. Hard to believe they brought this intensity and dynamic precision all the time then, but they did! Ace!

Unknown Genre - iTunes. Kreutzmann drives this hovercraft - as he seems to in all of the great Berthas of this time. Look out for the guitars.

Practice Studio

Have always loved the San Venetia tapes - almost like an x-ray of the GD. You can so hear the guitar architecture. So tempted to make that one word.

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.

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.

Nice re-visit. Solid as a rock. Strong.

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