Me and My Uncle

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Two things: (1) the middle of a searing Other One > MAMU > Other One fest and (2) Garcia loses his mind (or mine) at the end of the solo.

Drop dead gorgeous, lithe, and restaurant quality perfect.

Lately I think of Port Chester. Fab 4 Alignment. Limber. Ambidextrous.

Boston Tea Party

The peak is like a merry-go-round spinning out of and back into control and then, albeit briefly, out and in of control again.

The Other One
Feb. 23, 1971
Capitol Theater

This simply needs more votes! Actually, it doesn't really "need" anything - got it fucking all.
Crazy Fingers
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Searching version. And they're singing it with some serious focus/energy. Can always do without the little Latinesque tango at the end - always strikes me as a little put on. But a great song and a band learning to inhabit it.
Cold Rain and Snow
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Love the Cold Rain opener. Open with this, you mean business.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

From the outside, Lesh: unleashed. And then everything lets loose - g-force intense.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

Apex rendition.
