Nice and funky. Pigpen and the backup vocals sounding great.

From the time when first set songs were played with a pressing sense of emergency.

Me and My Uncle

Providence Civic Center

A spirited version, with Jerry taking the lead and solid Bob vocals.

Rubber Bowl - University of Akron

Jerry's spot on. Phil's thumping. Bob's vocals are passionate. They play it like they want to.

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.

Red Rocks Ampitheater

The last El Paso they did in 1985 before Bob's voice goes out.

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.
