Me and My Uncle

Madison Square Garden

Big energy, a good Jerry solo, no lyrical flubs, and transitions into a hot Mexicali Blues. What else could you ask for?

Dupree's Diamond Blues
Sept. 20, 1982
Madison Square Garden

Is there a single version of Dupree's that DOESN'T put a smile on your face? This one's a ton of fun, and a big highlight of an under-appreciated show

Brent's piano is a major factor in this hot version. Tempo is just exactly perfect.

Sounds more triumphant than haunting, but that's not a bad thing. Excellent soloing throughout, with the final minute being particularly great.

Carries the momentum of the H/S/F prior, leading to a fast version with some great Jerry solos.

Amazing piano work by Keith - a stellar version of this tune.
Comes A Time

Fox Theatre

A PERFECT early version, and a cornerstone of the new St. Louis box.
The Other One
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

A FEROCIOUS version - this should have WAY more votes.

Vince's organ is really what makes this one for me. Great playing by him!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

The Zenith

INCREDIBLE! This one is the cream of the crop and easily the best late-era version.
