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

St. Stephen

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.

Point taken, Mercury.
