studio version of first Garcia.... the greatest GD sin that it was never performed live until 1976 (and sadly re-arranged)...

rollin& rockin w BK providing that sweet hypnotic shuffle, this one is so good because the first few are still Wave that Flag 2.0s!

Weir's guitar is cut-throat in this one and the 3-part harmonies soar...no doubt thishas no votes bc JG solo is completely cut but i love the feel of this one more than any other

just an average CJ but the AUD version is fun because of the best-est audience... 7/26/72

the dueling vocal crescendo btw Weir& Garcia at the end never fails to give me goosebumps, it keeps pushin and rising, Garcia actually goes for it on this one, matches Weir line for line as the train almost flies off the track maybe this isnt higher because of the nasty cut in the middle, idk but goddamn this one is the best i love the mix of this show, it pops & kicks & breathes man. Garcia's vocals in this show are dripping
