Me and My Uncle

Dane County Coliseum

Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

Bobby is definitely on during this tighten up jam. Good stuff.

Is that a question with only one right answer? :)
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Barton Hall - Cornell University

welcome aboard Moses! Poke around and find what you like, it's never too late. cgarces is spot on with those recommendations, both are killer. I'd add 7/31/82 (my first favorite) and 2/5/78 (my current fav).

Whoops! Edited. Also bump for the great rap and the fact that the whole group cooks.

They tear this up.
