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

Here Comes Sunshine
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Effortless, telepathic stufffff.
Estimated Prophet
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

Textbook - with Godchaux's slightly reggae clavinet and Garcia a wandering envelope minstrel. Very sweet turn into He's Gone's driveway.
Sugaree
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

A beautiful, majestic treat (my favorite era for Sugarees) - Godchaux leading the charge with urbane, instructive soliloquies from the guy with the aluminum guitar.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

Nice crispy delicacy - on a matrix plate. Weir's having some guitar fun during the coda.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

A rich, live, especially present version (especially on the matrix) - Garcia skittering nicely. Then all of a sudden Albert Ayler appears.
