St. Stephen
May 14, 1970
Merramec Community College

Tight, terraplanic swagger. Takes no prisoners (whatever that means).
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 30, 1980
Fox Theatre

Frisky and quick-twitch! Garcia hits a few power chords in the verse right before the long stretch out. A fan of this run of southeastern shows & this is one of the best 80s Playins I've heard. Rip roarin'!
It Must Have Been The Roses
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

Both 8/4 and 8/5 are among my favorite versions of Roses. Everyone brings some sweet element to the table. Garcia, of course, front and center with anguished voice and wiry electric guitar.
