The Palestra, U. of Rochester

Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

An jaunty exercise this. Garcia leads the way with a 13+ lb. guitar! Strong like bull.
Dark Star
Oct. 25, 1969
Winterland Arena

Bubbly, conversational - like walking into a lively party of smart, witty, stylishly dressed patrons d'art. Then things take a turn. City feel. Top of game stuff.
Dark Star
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

Even without the ridic set-list, this Dark Star is masterful - tells the whole story. Cinemascope. At about 8:49, someone in the theatre utters "O my God" which strikes me as a fairly sensible response to the offering. That this Dark Star contains both an Attics and Sugar Magnolia ought not bias the honorable panel. Good luck.
Cryptical Envelopment

Fillmore West

Some great TC-Garcia interplay throughout. These four Fillmore West shows are crazy.

Catholic Youth Center

Phil's laying the caramel down down hey down and the band immediately hits the SWAY button.
