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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 27, 1972
Academy of Music

Between Kreutzmann's crackling snare, Pigpen shaking, the sincerely crazy guitar interplay, and Lesh - woof! Spritely!

Liquid gold. The Velveeta cheese shells of rock.

Gooey and careful. That works!
The Other One

This Other One explodes out of the gates and everyone sounds enormous. When it disintegrates and gets quiet, no one loses any stature. August. 1971. Other One. Pretty much a guarantee of pro quality.

It's hard to know what to swoon over first. Lesh's bass is a smooth piece of wood in your living room. August '71, this is practically a quartet except Pig plays some mean tambourine. Wind at its back.
