Capitol Theater

20 min. Pig rap-fest; Heavy and fast barnburner, thunderous drums, and nimble bass

Capitol Theater

Three from the Vault version; Tumbling, fiery, madness, Garcia lights this one up; The bus stopped by at the Capitol Theater, did you get on?

Glens Falls Civic Center

Melodic and creative soloing throughout; the transition (">") is absolutely on fire, musical communication between instruments is on point

Not a spectacular show by any means; This S>F however is very strong, Garcia officially back from the dead

Absolutely nasty tease, would've been too epic if they had played it. Crowd would've torn the place to shreds.
Midnight Hour

Fillmore East

Superior version, most definitely a favorite of mine.

Garcia's solos are as powerful as you will possibly find, definitely worth checking out.
Crazy Fingers

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Smooth version from a sick show
If I Had The World To Give
Nov. 20, 1978
Cleveland Music Hall

Perfect, they nail it, should have played it more throughout their years.
