Lately I think of Port Chester. Fab 4 Alignment. Limber. Ambidextrous.

The peak is like a merry-go-round spinning out of and back into control and then, albeit briefly, out and in of control again.

5/19 is an all-timer for me, too. There is a point in 5/8 where Garcia's slaloming through with the push-button sound of the envelope that, at various times, enters into parallel space. Some of the most insane guitar playing ever. This version shares many of these laudable qualities. I suddenly sauntered into a Grey Poupon commercial. Surry.

Lesh sets the parameters and controls the flow of information. In chocolately fashion. A lovely sprightly (and still fairly gooery) Garcia outro brings this one-act play to a sweet close. I love these Spring '77 stand-alone Estimateds. Maybe the peak of this song for me.

Strand Lyceum
One of the all-timers. Garcia's muted playing in the beginning is a tell. You know this one's gonna go places.
