Jed As Tight Little Pop Song. Tight and snappy, enthusiasm for a new classic.

Takes a little while ramp up, but when it does, hoofa!
Wharf Rat

Capitol Theater

A tell: Garcia's entrance is sinewy, complex, and in the fucking zone. Easy to see this unfolding into an ace Wharf Rat. The bridge is completely unique the way Garcia warps space. I can't think of too many superior versions of this chestnut.

One of my favorites. Smooth and exploratory.

And a second set opener to boot! Crazy. An all-time Wharf Rat.

Such a feathery touch on the WR - Lesh brings the chocolate tree. Great 2 guitar massage.
