Me and My Uncle

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Stayin' Alive tease to open and significant teases by Keith throughout. Most interesting version by far - (teases continue into a romping Big River)

Truckin'
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

Gigantic early peak, followed by high energy band interplay, concluded with some jacked up speedy noodling. Hard to ask for more

Broome County Arena

End jam has some of the best Bobby/Jerry interplay I can recall - truly incredible. Leads into a heart stopping Truckin'. Peep it

Has some nice depth for a compact version. Not to mention the absolutely stunning UJB>P>UJB show opener call.

Beautiful version and a jaw dropping way to open a show! I love the introduction, ushering in the next 15 years of the Dead
