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!

Here Comes Sunshine
Sept. 26, 1973
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.

St. Stephen
Dec. 29, 1969
Boston Tea Party

A great revisit. This one's atomic.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

My favorite thing about this is probably its patience. It's very naturally spacey. Like me.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Prime real estate. Great pace - as good as it gets in '78. At the level of the best '77s.
Samson and Delilah
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

The drums are ON IT!
The Other One
April 21, 1969
The Ark

A favorite version from a favorite run.
