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

Smooth, silky, and that unique silvery June '76 Garcia sound.

Lazy smooth - the best kind of smooth. Almost as good as smoothe. Garcia's at his bubbly '76 clean-as-a-bean TB best. Weir is sneaky kick ass throughout. In the bridge, he goes Phase City and the whole song just shimmers.

Taste-laden - essentially quartet format. 1971 gives so many cool different looks.

May '77 Playin's seem to have extra gravitas & purposefulness. Garcia is in full shaman guitar visitation mode.

Q_76 - yeah, '73 is delightful. Great as Garcia is, listen to that bass. Whew!
