You can hear the swagger in their mutterings before they play. And the performance bears that out. Sure, smooth, and effortless.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Letter perfect - the Godchauxs take this to a loftier level. Beautiful dynamic push-and-pull by the whole group.

Planting the Flag of Civilization on this tight scorcher. New from factory - Inspector #9. Under penalty of law, this tag may not be YEAH GARCIA!

Dreamy, motionless rendition on a sea of individual human reactions [audience tape]. A wonderful time for this gem.

At :30 Pig switches from tambourine to organ and we're off! These early '71 performances showcase Kreutzmann reveling in sweet space. Driving.

Favorite kind of They Love Each Other at my favorite football stadium.

Maybe it's easy to take these chill Berthas for granted sometimes - but these are some of the great versions b/c the band is listening to each other and we can hear the interaction. This is a freakishly excellent show, so this smooth, casual, slightly loopy, easygoing Bertha comes as no surprise.

joeshafer - That under-the-radar status might soon change.
