McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

The music sounds like something you'd hear being played at a carnival.

Warfield Theater

It starts off slow, then the booogie kicks in and this one sprouts its wings and soars.

Oh, God - Bob's line before they start the tune is priceless.

Me and My Uncle
April 3, 1985
Providence Civic Center

A spirited version, with Jerry taking the lead and solid Bob vocals.
Me and My Uncle
July 2, 1986
Rubber Bowl - University of Akron

Jerry's spot on. Phil's thumping. Bob's vocals are passionate. They play it like they want to.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

This is one of those things that makes you ashamed to be a Deadhead. The jamming here is so far above and beyond everything from 8-27-72 that it's not even worth debating. But regardless, we still have to put up with the nonsense that is Playin from 8-27-72 and deal with the shame that this is somehow second best.
El Paso
Sept. 6, 1985
Red Rocks Ampitheater

The last El Paso they did in 1985 before Bob's voice goes out.
El Paso
Oct. 25, 1985
The Fox theater

October-November 1985, Bob is having issues with his voice. He struggles to find a place in the song where his faults aren't highlighted and does a pretty good job of hanging in there.
