Sweet outro on this one. Donna's got the sweet harmony and Phil with the bass vox makes it pretty kind.

Me and My Uncle

MAMU is so often overlooked, but this one is hiding in plain sight. Hard jumpin' rocker here with a savage pulse, and great banter after.

After the ultra-outre Dark Star, this pure rock and roll distillate is just perfect goodness. A burner with Billy hard charging in 4-wheel drive.

Note for note perfect. The only reason it isn't here yet is that the shows between Europe and Berkeley/Veneta are too often overlooked.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Possibly the highest energy piece in the whole show. An excellent jam that left the crowd smiling, for certain.

The Other One
Dec. 1, 1971
Boston Music Hall

Thanks a lot Blob Weird. That's one of my favorite versions and I'll check it out again for the tease. I love how the Dead mix everything together - the delicate theme from WRS right in the middle of a sweaty Pig blues... and why not? Sorry about the double post. UPDATE: It's actualy in the outro of TOO after MAMU, not Hard to Handle, but it's certainly there. Cool!

WRS Prelude "tease" at 3:13 of the reprise. It's absolutely clear. Does anybody know of one earlier? Anybody? Also a very beautiful and great jam after MAMU.

Sweet and honest, this song always gives me chills. The Betty Board is oh so nice.

Dark Star

Fillmore East

Starts as a whisper and takes its time, filled with silences and, well, space, not "Space". It builds then into the great musical promise that is Dark Star at its most wonderous and beautiful.
