Me and My Uncle

Strand Lyceum

Tight version. Surprised it's not on here, like the rest of this sweet show (my new sleeper favorite, along with 5/13, 4/11)...dig that organ.

Strand Lyceum

Everything from 5/23-5/26 is heady to me...check the mellow vibe that settles in around the 8:00 mark. Followed by some nice Jerry messin' around.

Orpheum Theatre

Calm, clean, clear and expansive: this is what space sounds like to me.

Musikhalle

Rider is draggy/borderline asleep, but China Cat deserves to be listed. Only song left out from this fine Europe '72 sleeper?

Hot stuff. Goes so many places. Just listened to it and already want to again; can tell it will definitely reward repeat listens.

Really lovely stuff, for any era.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Most underrated part of this jam sequence.

Wasn't expecting this to be so awesome. Didn't think it would fit with the super rockin' high energy vibe of the show. But it does! Sweet!

Am not so-much in love with Bobby Good Lovin's, but this one has something special for me. I don't know what. Maybe the energy in Jerry's guitar.
