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

It Must Have Been The Roses

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.

The Other One
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

One of my favorite shows ever - both the performance and the stunning recording. Invention in every second of this Other One. Like everything from this show, underpants drawer! This is what the 2-drummer model was supposed to sound like!

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Dave & I: "Spot on!"
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Maybe not as well known as 9/7, but it does zip! Crisp & high-level group interaction. Garcia-Weir-Godchaux weave in and out of each other's wake turbulence like its nothing. A great & undervalued Eyes.
They Love Each Other
Feb. 26, 1973
Pershing Municipal Auditorium

Fast version every single day - although the bridge is always superfluous & clunky. And this one sails!
Beat it on Down The Line
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Just jammed this on my way to work and it cut the commute time in half!
