Relaxed and joyous space-age electric guitar semi-ballad.

Bertha
Feb. 21, 1971
Capitol Theater

Warp speed, precise, slightly unhinged, and driving into the greenish-blue evening.

Taft Auditorium

Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

U.C.

A giggly, slangy Garcia masterpiece (in sweet show sauce). Goes down EZ.

Sugaree
Sept. 24, 1976
William and Mary College Hall

Agree w/darkstar67 and note that the Spring 76 Sugaree magic hadn't worn off by the fall. Interesting transition from one great phase of the song (6/76) to another (5/77).
Cold Rain and Snow
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Definitely one of my favorite Cold Rains, too. Garcia is a patient man. An early '78 highlight.
Playin' In The Band
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

A favorite show - ever. I often overlook this Playin' for all the gifts 5/19/1977 brings. That would be a mistake. A gaffe even. Corrected.
Big Railroad Blues
Nov. 12, 1971
San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Garcia-Godchaux-Kreutzmann are the mirepoix here. Season to taste.
Tennessee Jed
Oct. 27, 1971
Onondaga War Memorial

First Jed was the first Godchaux show. 10/19.
