Truckin'
Jan. 24, 1971
Seattle Center Arena

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

Academy of Music

Picture Perfeck Academy of Music NFA! Kreutzmann and Weir scoot this gem along.

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.

Big and round. Lesh is the wacked-out chauffeur. What a cool, bizarre run.

A strike-zone era Big River. Smooth & prickly.

Capitol Theater

And now sounding insane on the Workingman's 50th!
Not Fade Away
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

Can't believe I haven't seriously descended on this colossus before. Almost gets Who-like at times. One of of the elite.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Garcia in peak Stratocaster form. Playing by telepathy.
Truckin'
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

Nod to quinn - classic '73 Grateful Dead. Light as a feather then they ram in down yr throat. Band at the height of its dynamic powers.
Dark Star
June 7, 1969
Fillmore West

Heavy and a little hostile. As Carrion sez: not peace and love.
