Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

Fall '76 might be a peak time for this great song. Garcia, clean as daylights, floats on a silvery cloud.
Playin' In The Band

Lesh sets the table. I love the outer space quality of Fall '76 Playins. The drums still have deep purpose (nearly tribal) and Garcia's emitting static electricity Magic Ball lightbulb flashes/strikes.

The Ark

Been away too long on this one. These three Ark shows - here is the next box. Just do it, David Lemieux, or whomever. CLASSIC Dark Star!
Eyes Of The World

Cool transition out of Drums, at warp speed. The Orange Tango is a lovely side-trip.
The Eleven

Fillmore West

Up 1 with the revisit. This is shamefully low. There - I said it.
