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

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.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Nice connection DS67! This is a pretty kick-ass show all around. Only recently dove in.

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Smooth as silk. I like the concise goo of May 1977, but this stands right up with any. Garcia just fucking tears up the break. Sometimes these extended jams get lumbering - not this'n. Exquisite outro.

Orpheum Theatre

Sweet Scarlet whether audience or Dave's Pick. I, too, have much love for the stand-alone Scarlets. Perfected in 1976.
