China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

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

Eyes Of The World
Oct. 25, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Dave & me: this should have more votes. Sunshiney and tight as a fucking drum. Or durum wheat. Both. Neither. Bother. I've covered it all (pretty much). A great, undervalued Eyes O' the World.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

I like the ambience of the AUD. Lots of 1983 energy - Garcia aiming high. 13 lb. guitar and all. One of the better 80s Scarlet>Fires. BanD. Nice AUD participation early transition. Dies out just at the right time. Then some very high quality on-stage music.
The Music Never Stopped
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

That's a lot of Music tucked into <7 minutes. Really takes care of any Music Never Stopped needs.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Sing it, Doctoma!
Playin' In The Band
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

Dynamics laden!
