You could do a whole lot worse than the Truckin>Other One>Dew sequence from 5/26/72, a lot of which ended up on Europe 72 3rd LP

That Frost 82 run is money!

My heater of a show choice is 2/3/78. The drummers are ON and the Playing>Wheel>Playing is damn special, not to mention one of my favorite Estimateds

Oh for sure. We all love to critique when Fishman doesn’t pull off a seamless segue but part of the reason is because he does it so well so often. Realistically it’s so tough

Listened to the Miami Biscuits show this am, and I’m really loving what I’m hearing.

First off, any show that opens Vassillios>Munchkin>Spacebird is gonna be a winner in my book. Perfect old school setlisting.

Guess that means the Biscuits are out for Newport Folk Fest
