Me and My Uncle
May 23, 1972
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
May 23, 1972
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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 29, 1972
Musikhalle

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

Mickey is an absolute beast on this song. Watch the video that they showed at Meet up at the Movies.

Everybody so animated and energetic the whole show: Jerry, Bob, Brent, Phil, etc. July of ‘89, one of the great months.

Rich Stadium

What a Scarlet! Birthed to life seamlessly out of Sugar Mag then fire on all cylinders: Jerry jamming, Bob brilliant support, Phil bouncing, Brent backing on B-3, and Mickey and Bill perfectly in synch, all with crazy smooth transition into Man Smart, Woman Smarter.

The Other One
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Real nice stabbing, jazzy organ work by Brent about 5 min into this one, and he keeps piling on inspired flurries...I actually didn't mind the patch so much either.
