Truckin'
Jan. 24, 1971
Seattle Center Arena

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

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.

Agree w/everyone here - this one brings the funk! Garcia in fine MuTron form and I've come to accept that Myland pushes things in a good way. The re-visit suits this version. Confident and brash - it's grown on me.

Hartford Civic Center

A fabulous BEW, but Garcia's guitar break on 5/8 is still my favorite most days of the week. I'll take either one, but I won't, I can't stand for 5/8's BEW be called overrated.
St. Stephen

Madison Square Garden

A little clumsy and too much Mydland tinkling, but the heart is there!

Alexandra Palace

Dave & I dig the comments and dig this ZESTY version!
The Other One
Feb. 6, 1970
Fillmore West

Pigpen at the controls for some of this - pushes it into the stratosphere. Of course, the rest of the group is responsive like a Mustang. No weak links in this one - no dead wood. Ace shit!
