Playin>Wheel>Playin..Im not into extra long playin jams but when theres somethin inbetween im havin it..This show does not miss,the jam remains focused and doesnt wander too far into the cosmos,the wheel is magic n keeps everything grounded.The transitions are seamless..True Dead.

This first set is maybe the best ive heard,top 10 versions of every song played..These early 77 shows are a precurser of the magic that was to come later in the year,the word is tight n great energy throughout.Short n sweet.

Too many good sugarees to pick any one.Keith n Jerry trade licks all thru this stellar show..Sugaree is another pot-strain named after the Dead,theres a few now:Jack Straw,Sunshine daydream,Dark Star,Touch of Grey ,Casey Jones and Lazy lightening...Waitin on the scarlet begonia next..
