Long crystal clear Jerry solos throughout and a great recording for '68. Gets tighter throughout the jam.

Fast, reckless, and smokin' hot. A must have for fans of '68 and all its psychedelic glory. Goes into a nice best New Potato Caboose too.

Succinct and powerful. A nice '68 set starting (!) with Dark Star and Stephen. Mellow.

Great extended spacey jam. Check out around 05:10 - 05:40 for what sounds impossibly like a FTM tease. PHIL !

Jerry's on fire in this show opener. Not my favorite song, but just a rippin' version here. Wish I could have been there....

Uncle John's Band
Nov. 16, 1970
Fillmore East

Seems like the date of the show is in question, with strong arguments for the 16th ("unannounced show") or the 23rd ("Hells Angels Benefit"), with "memories" backing up either story. Either way, it's a magic little show with great accompaniments by guest stars. This UJB is gorgeous.
King Bee

Anderson Theatre

Some debate as to this date. Just listened to it all as 16 November 1970. In any case, the whole thing is just amazing. I love how clear Bobby is in the mix throughout, which is so rare for the era.

Right on Robjacobi waikikirob. As I said on the Dark Star comments from this show, this is the music I want playing (on a loop) over my tombstone. Also, nice form on your picture there. Ride one for all those surfers out there who no longer live next to the ocean....

Charges right out of the gate. Even if this isn't your favorite song, they leave no doubt about their blazing energy. Jerry/Keith communication across the soloing is just brilliant.

Ripping opener. It's been so long since I dropped in on this show, but it's like a cool glass of water on a hot day: Just exactly perfect. Jerry's outro solo announced to these lucky fans just what kind of night they were in for.
