You can hear the swagger in their mutterings before they play. And the performance bears that out. Sure, smooth, and effortless.

It Must Have Been The Roses

Philadelphia Civic Center

Letter perfect - the Godchauxs take this to a loftier level. Beautiful dynamic push-and-pull by the whole group.

Planting the Flag of Civilization on this tight scorcher. New from factory - Inspector #9. Under penalty of law, this tag may not be YEAH GARCIA!

Dreamy, motionless rendition on a sea of individual human reactions [audience tape]. A wonderful time for this gem.

At :30 Pig switches from tambourine to organ and we're off! These early '71 performances showcase Kreutzmann reveling in sweet space. Driving.

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

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Sing it, Doctoma!
Playin' In The Band
