Picture Perfeck Academy of Music NFA! Kreutzmann and Weir scoot this gem along.

Santa Rosa Fairgrounds

Adventure soundtrack - the group plays out a number of scenes. Garcia's the acrobatic narrator for the most part. Superb and interactive.

Big and round. Lesh is the wacked-out chauffeur. What a cool, bizarre run.

Big River

Denver Coliseum

A strike-zone era Big River. Smooth & prickly.

Euphoria Ballroom

ATOMIC! Garcia's subversive wah work only makes the area less safe for the public.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 25, 1977
Capitol Theater

Sounds like no other - definitely transitional, but full of the kind of excitement that brings.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Contempla\tive. The backslash stands for quality.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 7, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

Ry-krispy! Not sure how this didn't move some people, but people's people. Hi-Octane! Almost said Hi-Rocktane, which would have been unfortunate.
The Other One
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

Partial to 1971 Other Ones as I am, I endorse this version as merely another insane stand-out. Top-sleeve shit.
China Cat Sunflower
Feb. 23, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

No other band has ever sounded like this. Crazy. Great segue.
