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

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.

You a Caps fan, too? Wild game! And a wild show.

Overlook this show at yr peril - this fiery Other One is just another unique flavor of some top sleeve Dead. For all the great stuff in this show, this is a high point.

Don't think is really short -- right in line for DS durations at that time. They started to get longer (N or 20 min) a couple of weeks later. This variety is dense - the SG crunching away. Effortlessly graceful.

Another killer re-visit! Garcia's obviously the Cap'n here - and the group grants his every whim. I think I heard Lesh go, "My liege . . ." Rightfully.

Lesh leads the way with the redwood. You got that - most things just have a way of falling into place. But the whole group is in high-test form.
