Uncle John's Band

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

The band sounds worn and fried vocally on the SBD but oddly makes it more compelling 17mins(!) - the jamming is on point.

Dark, atmospheric....

Deep Elem Blues
Dec. 1, 1966
Studio demo

Psychedelic blues explosion - a real different let's get weird take. Isn't this the Matrix show?
Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 24, 1971
Seattle Center Arena

Yeah I like that jam too - sounds Allmanesque to me if slowed down a smidge - Jer just rips it up for a good 4mins.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Sept. 28, 1975
Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

Love this version and so different from all others run the NFA through for the warm up to get the complete flavor profile for these two - Jer's got his tone dialed in and both should surprise you. 0-ppppppppppppppppp89 cat just walked across the keys....

State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Darkstar67 sent me here and I agree this one is nice and chewy!
The Other One

The Spectrum

Nicely mental later version tripped out Weir vocals and sounds like Brent was playing asteroids during the set break - so he broke out the effects here plus the feedback is a strong bonus.
