Euphoria Ballroom

ATOMIC! Garcia's subversive wah work only makes the area less safe for the public.

Searing version - groovy false start, then Garcia soars like an acrobat. Plug in!

CRUSH. Hard to believe they brought this intensity and dynamic precision all the time then, but they did! Ace!

Unknown Genre - iTunes. Kreutzmann drives this hovercraft - as he seems to in all of the great Berthas of this time. Look out for the guitars.

Practice Studio

Have always loved the San Venetia tapes - almost like an x-ray of the GD. You can so hear the guitar architecture. So tempted to make that one word.

A great revisit. This one's atomic.

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

Swing Auditorium

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