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.

Playin' In The Band

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.

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?

Love the organ swirling in the background.

Oh, Brucey. You really rocked it on this one. Such a happy, good vibes, upbeat version.
Not Fade Away

Orpheum Theatre

very unique version. unlike any i've heard. long and jammy and relaxed, not the usual super high energy, but still very cool.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Pretty and mellow and groovin'.
Space
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

(i know technically this could/should be considered an extension of the other one jam...but as it is called "space" on the official release...anyway, super slow and meandering at first, but give it time...for "space", which i'm usually not a big fan of, it's pretty trippy in a mellow, sleepy, jazzy and eventually 'heady' way...unique, for sure.)
