Me and My Uncle
Sept. 14, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Carries forward the energy and vibe of the preceding Ollin>NFA. Kind of mesmerizing.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

Eloquent Jerry solo elevates this one unexpectedly.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Don’t always love the ’78s for this tune, but this howling version certainly warrants attention.

The Eleven
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Another brilliant April '69 Eleven that just doesn't let up. Forceful, but totally unforced.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Brilliantly strange. T.C.'s organ adds stuttering weirdness to a churning groovathon.

The Spectrum

Typical for the period, it’s filled with MIDI ... and quite adventurous. I like both of those traits, but your mileage may vary.
Uncle John's Band

Capital Centre

@TheBusCameBy and others -- you can vote for 3/18/91 songs at the following link: http://headyversion.com/show/2079/grateful-dead/1991-03-18/ There's a bug on this site that makes it difficult to find a lot of submissions when scrolling through the song pages. It sometimes takes some patience to land on a show page.
It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 21, 1978
Winterland Arena

I am amazed this gorgeous reading from a popular show only has one vote when I got here. Well, now it has two.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 1, 1982
Zoo Amphitheater

Very cool and different jam — kind of like one of the grooves on In a Silent Way — in the few minutes before > Iko.
Drums -> Space
Feb. 20, 1991
Oakland Coliseum Arena

This Drums > JAM > Space is like no other D>S I’ve heard.
