Playin' In The Band
May 4, 1972
Olympia Theater

Bubbly and graceful. Perfection.
Dancin' in the Streets
Sept. 25, 1976
Capital Centre

Garcia is slippery and persistent. Really nice Dancin' - nice, intense jam.
The Other One
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

A scorching Other One - the guitars blow up. Then into the insane Close Encounters theme. Kwality shit.

Smooth N' Self-Assured. TM
St. Stephen
Feb. 27, 1969
Fillmore West

Blistering. Whereas I think Dark Star peaked in 1970, 1969 was St. Stephen's year. Massive and dramatic storytelling.
