Sugaree
June 4, 1976
Paramount Theatre

Another example of how Sugaree thrived in 6/76: Garcia's sweet, mellow, bubbly silver thread guitar and group dynamics both jaunty & subtle. Primo.

County Coliseum

If possible, a very contemplative TJ. Everyone's in apex '73 form, esp. Godchaux who's mixed fairly high to good effect.

Capitol Theater

Of the heavenly 1970 Capitol Theater St. Stephens. Just a beautiful union between audience and group. Killer Stephen! CRUNCH!

War Memorial

Show opener - the perseverence is what really sells me on this one. A struggle, but a worthy one b/c the spoils are lush. Sneaky great.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 18, 1972
Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

Crazy overlooked: A noble, splendiferous C>R in full Europe 72-ness. Patient, exploratory, charming. Driving a distance? Pack this.

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.

Paramount Theatre

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

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

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