    Listening to the jolly patter twixt tunes, it sounds like they were having the most fun in the world. Oh, do I envy them. To be on stage such as they were with absolutely no pressure -- that's when the GD were at their best. And Pauley Pavilion was one of the band's friendly confines. The AUD of this show on the archives is also very good. This version, however, has more bass presence. My only criticism with the SBD is that it leaves out Bobby's guitar.

  • ★★★★★ · Walk on the Wild Side · sntb · 2010

    This version of Sugaree caught my ear the first time I heard it because it was just after I'd read that Garcia wrote "Franklin's Tower" around the "doo-da-doo-da-doo" part of Lou Reed's "Walk On the Wild Side. (In one of the Garcia bios) And if you notice after the final solo in Sugaree, Jerry (I believe) plays the bass riff of "Wild Side" for a few measures. There are a few other versions that hint at it, but this is the most blatant that I've heard.
