Absolutely beautiful, Jerry's guitar tone and playing nearly unmatched in this version. It just soars so beautifully, Jerry is On top of this version

Vocals start out a little creaky but loosen up as the song builds as a cool dimension to the outstanding playing on this one. Beginning of a greattour

JG sings this one so perfectly and then whips out the silver spacefinger lead.

Beautiful version. Several very good versions of this song across April 1978, this one being my favorite.

1978: Prime weather for Candyman. This performance, like many from then, highlights the bleak world of the narrator. Garcia's break: spidery.

From Garcia's cheeky intro on, this graceful cabochon throws a faint, warm light. 1976 elegance w/a sick, raw spider web guitar break.

Brent's piano is a major factor in this hot version. Tempo is just exactly perfect.

Really nice, second song of 1st set!

Premiere version from the middle/acoustic set. Audible buzz on the SBD, but worth the historic interest and for Jerry's wordless penultimate verse.
