This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Takes a little while ramp up, but when it does, hoofa!
Wharf Rat
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

A tell: Garcia's entrance is sinewy, complex, and in the fucking zone. Easy to see this unfolding into an ace Wharf Rat. The bridge is completely unique the way Garcia warps space. I can't think of too many superior versions of this chestnut.
Bird Song
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

One of my favorites. Smooth and exploratory.
Wharf Rat
Dec. 2, 1973
Music Hall

And a second set opener to boot! Crazy. An all-time Wharf Rat.
Weather Report Suite
Nov. 30, 1973
Boston Music Hall

Such a feathery touch on the WR - Lesh brings the chocolate tree. Great 2 guitar massage.
