This EP is 'just exactly perfect'. Jerry's curlicue soloing over tight ensemble playing in a dramatic rising arc.

Me and My Uncle

Ohio Theatre

Bobby puts on the snarling spiteful chaw and the band is lightning tight. The banter after is fun too.

Quite beautiful and melodic, surprisingly. Perfectly transitions from the outrageous chaos of Caution into the sweet soothing balm of an AWBYG.

Turn On Your Love Light
March 17, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

The Download series has a warm but muted sound quality that makes this both hot and cool at the same time. This version doesn't have the wild Pig life-coaching that came later, but does have that brilliant '68 ensemble jamming that blows your hair back and steals your face, leaving nothing but perma-grin.

Everyone loves the Swing, but don't skip the Mama!

What a brain-sizzler. Jerry's 20-second solo around 3:30 just ignites the air into a pillar of fire. His tone is of ferocious arch-angelic madness, just like the song sez, eh? What an intro for this quirky off-kilter song for a crowd also treated to 1st-time Terrapin.

Between the Human Be-In two weeks earlier and this blisteringly hot announcement to the "scene" the Dead seemed to go from pop psychedelica to the Danger Dead, with a swaggering, no prisoners, no bullshit muscle behind their prankster games. The sound quality here leaves some to be desired, and it fades out into VLB, but it's more than worth a listen. It'll steal your freakin' face, is what it'll do.
