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

Loser

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.

Sugaree

Auditorium Theatre

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.

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.
