At :30 Pig switches from tambourine to organ and we're off! These early '71 performances showcase Kreutzmann reveling in sweet space. Driving.

Capitol Theater

A delicate, tight, searching super early version of a staple. Kruetzmann plays it light and springy and that 1971 Lesh caramel bass guitar!

If you know this smooth customer of a show, you know how drynamic [yes, I typed that] and user friendly this TJ is. An always welcome visitor.

Few things better than a June '76 Sugaree. Garcia with the first Travis Bean just sketches with the lightest, barest of precious metal filaments.

Paramount Northwest Theatre

Summer '72 Jed: Sweet dynamics & precision engineering. Weir & Kreutzmann stir it up during Garcia's guitar break.

And now sounding insane on the Workingman's 50th!

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.

Garcia in peak Stratocaster form. Playing by telepathy.

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

Fillmore West

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