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.

Can't get behind this one - the drums are simply out-of-sync. To me, there is no groove. Too bad, b/c the rest of song does sorta cook. Excellent show overall, too.

High in quality. A spring in its step.

Happy re-acquaintance! Or Re-happy-acquaintance! Or Hap-Rippy-Paloma-Snake! Best of May 1977? Probably not, but who cares? The margins are slim. Either way, we're in the black.

Nice re-visit. Solid as a rock. Strong.

Has everything you need. Bananas show, in general. Smokin' version.
