Uncle John's Band
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

The Keith Jerry intro is just sublime absolutely gorgeous stuff here. Nice mellow and beautiful leading its way ever so sweetly to the first verse, this is jammed yet delicate as only the Grateful Dead can be. Folky yet drenched in acid this is just a lovely rendition . This is the year that just keeps on giving and Donna is terriffic here magnificent. One of the best UJB I have ever heard great selection, deserves more love.
Dancin' in the Streets

This is a barn burner as they all tend to be in the 1976-77 era, VERY FUNKY lots of note bending and wah by Jerry, nice drums tons of Phil so Funky it is awesome love this stuff. Instruments are nice and up front on the SNBD with the vocals slightly lower. The drummers are definitely on in this version, sweet.
Black Peter
March 13, 1982
Reno Centennial Coliseum

Beautiful Dear Prudence tease (Not Strawberry fields as some claim) I can see Lucy but this is a dear prudence tease before it drifts beautifully into a somber Black Peter, Was this to honor John Belushi who just passed as has been suggested by some? I do not know but it is passionate and Jerry does have the old guitar crying in pain. Beautiful and heady in only a way the grateful dead can be magnificent show as a whole

very jammy at spots, Bobby is raunchy throughout and Phil is spritely on the bass on this one. I wish i enjoyed the song more in 1995 I have grown to really appreciate it since Jerry's passing. This encore is one of those where they seemed to be enjoying it and did not want to leave the stage. It was an early starting show as was the day before.
The Other One

Reno Centennial Coliseum

This is the Dear Prudence Tease at the end of the jam, I have also heard it described as a Strawberry Fields or Lucy in The Sky Tease. It sounds Dear Prudence like to me it is brief but cool. The Other oNe though is Intense as good as 1982 other ones come when they return to the vocals Bobby now sounds even more possessed keep away from the children it may scare them, killer intensity melts into the Dear Prudence tease.
