Me and My Uncle
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Two things: (1) the middle of a searing Other One > MAMU > Other One fest and (2) Garcia loses his mind (or mine) at the end of the solo.

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Drop dead gorgeous, lithe, and restaurant quality perfect.

Greensboro Coliseum

Clear To Hell - Hear how a luscious Candyman absorbs a crowd in NC.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Capitol Theater

Lately I think of Port Chester. Fab 4 Alignment. Limber. Ambidextrous.

St. Stephen

Boston Tea Party

The peak is like a merry-go-round spinning out of and back into control and then, albeit briefly, out and in of control again.

Estimated Prophet
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

Agreed - I don't think Estimated was ever better than in '77. It was at its murkiest and there are (as we discovered) many varieties of murk.
The Other One
April 5, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

yeah DaGoodolRichard: the best kind of beast.
The Other One

Avalon Ballroom

Another visit to this little beast. Always a pleasure. Should have more votes - this of such heavyosity and fiery crash statistics. Classic.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

I would chime in for this simply for its status as a 1973 C>R sans the Feelin' Groovy jam, which I generally think is pretty rote. 1973 GD is, however, Expert Shifty, so this is a rare treat. Garcia, on Fender, is still skywriting the twang sky. Some clear pedal steel moments. Jeez F!
The Other One

Salt Palace

Heavens! The 73ness of this is pretty mesmerizing. Underpants drawer stuff.
