Me and My Uncle
Nov. 17, 1971
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.

Cryptical Envelopment
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Drop dead gorgeous, lithe, and restaurant quality perfect.

Candyman
May 1, 1980
Greensboro Coliseum

Clear To Hell - Hear how a luscious Candyman absorbs a crowd in NC.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 23, 1971
Capitol Theater

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

St. Stephen

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.

Candyman
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

Yes - DL No. 4 is a winner.
Mister Charlie
Aug. 14, 1971
Berkeley Community Theater

And, as always at this time, the bass is a big ol' tulip poplar. Mediciney & woozy.
Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena

A unique version that cooks like hell.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Kreutzmann's saunter into the song already makes it special. Garcia tapping across the soundstage like Bob Fosse. And aural version.
Samson and Delilah
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Think this is a nice version - intense, no big 1978 sloppiness. Blistering at times. This stands up. I'm PRO!
