Fantastic guitarist, very good singer....not a great songwriter, but it doesn't matter when he is playing with Dead and Company as they have plenty of songs. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny
Stella Blue Winterland March 20, 1977.
Jerry once said Stella Blue was his favorite Dead song.
Good version, one of my favorite Dead songs.
Below is my favorite all time version of Sugar Magnolia:
Thanks Lanny caught myself grinning about a third of the way thru. How can you listen to that and not get a smile on your face?
I agree, it always makes me happy when I hear that song.....classic Bobby Weir rocker that they would often play following Stella Blue which is what reminded me of it.
In fact, they played Stella Blue that night (10/19/1981) right before Sugar Magnolia
Here is the setlist and audio if you are interested, great show from the 1981 European Tour:

If not the best thing "they" did, this LP is right up there. Almost everything on this did become a staple of the Dead's live stuff. Though the beginning of side two sounds like it was written by Barrett, Gilmore, and Waters, instead of Garcia and Kreutzmann, the last three shift back, culminating with the quintessential Dead song, The Wheel.
