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

Dane County Coliseum

A prince of a rendition - part of a superb show.
Wharf Rat
June 22, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

Garcia's hypnotic arpeggiation at the start lets you know this one's going to be methodical, dynamic, toasty, with a smooth Brisbane finish. Memorable jazz saloon lead vocal, too.
Playin' In The Band
March 27, 1972
Academy of Music

The 9-12 minute '72 Playin' - right in the ol' sweet spot. Intense from the drop. Everyone operating at peak efficiency. A city in a bottle.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

It's Gibson vs. Fender in a velvety cage match! Superb show + Spring73 + China>Rider + panoramic stereo image = hoooba.
They Love Each Other
Feb. 22, 1973
Assembly Hall, University of Illinois

Y'know, a spring 73 TLEO is always a crisp, zesty slice of ride. No exception here. Garcia's Strat slices, dices, chortles, and creaks.
