Santa Rosa Fairgrounds
Adventure soundtrack - the group plays out a number of scenes. Garcia's the acrobatic narrator for the most part. Superb and interactive.

Big and round. Lesh is the wacked-out chauffeur. What a cool, bizarre run.

A strike-zone era Big River. Smooth & prickly.

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

Lesh is in your face - and it works just fine thanks. Rich, chocolatey - this could have been his tone forever and I'd be like Yeah!

Top shelf Half-Step. Thx for reminding me!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 15, 1972
Boston Music Hall
A very distinctive version that has plenty o' swagger. Garcia's guitar breaks in China Cat are innovative and full of soul & wit. Read: the guitar playing is nuts! Everyone is engaged - normal for this period. That's how a gem like this can be overlooked. Or looked over. Is it Tuesday?

It's sorta floppy & all over the place, but this one speaks. Slugging through at times, their musicality shuttles them through.
