This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

For many, this night was the beginning of the Great Years. This stately C>R sounds more like the pysch versions, but still you can hear the space and the loose-limbed countenance.

Beacon Theatre

Like ds67, I really dig these June '76 Cosmic Charlies. Smooth and silvery silky suits the song. Garcia's introductory guitar work lets you know that, even though they haven't played it for years, yr in excellent hands.

Super fucking jaunty! Such control. Wound almost too tight, but kind of thrilling.

Civic Auditorium

BAAAAAYYYYMMMM! Ass full of fire. Then, in the bridge, they can pull back to barely playing. Nasty cut - but still worth a visit.
