Loser
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

A delicate, tight, searching super early version of a staple. Kruetzmann plays it light and springy and that 1971 Lesh caramel bass guitar!

Boston Music Hall

If you know this smooth customer of a show, you know how drynamic [yes, I typed that] and user friendly this TJ is. An always welcome visitor.

Sugaree
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Few things better than a June '76 Sugaree. Garcia with the first Travis Bean just sketches with the lightest, barest of precious metal filaments.

Tennessee Jed

Paramount Northwest Theatre

Summer '72 Jed: Sweet dynamics & precision engineering. Weir & Kreutzmann stir it up during Garcia's guitar break.

Cumberland Blues
Dec. 13, 1969
Swing Auditorium

A cozy little delight - hand percussion, contemplation, great stereo drums, and some rip roaring riffage. Comes in under the radar, but worth a visit.

Boston Tea Party

A great revisit. This one's atomic.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

My favorite thing about this is probably its patience. It's very naturally spacey. Like me.
Eyes Of The World

Dane County Coliseum

Prime real estate. Great pace - as good as it gets in '78. At the level of the best '77s.
Samson and Delilah
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

The drums are ON IT!
The Other One
April 21, 1969
The Ark

A favorite version from a favorite run.
