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

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

Family Dog at the Great Highway

This is a sultry little model. But also crisp.
The Other One

Hollywood Palladium

A little surprised there aren't more '71 Other Ones higher on the list. From interviews at the time, they were super into this as the cutting edge of what they did. So full-bodied, yet spare. Power.

Labor Temple

Jeeez-us
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Civic Center

Lovely liquidy 73 China>Rider. And Bobby goes absolutely ape in his "guitar solo" portion of transition. Really hot version.
The Other One

Fillmore East

Definitely surprised this isn't waaaaay higher. This one has lots of wide architectural spaces and clusterfuck caverns. I'm turning into Nipsy Russell.
