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.

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

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.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Early show - but yeah: this one is fine-tuned and delicious. Love the TC organ and the drummers are locked in perfectly. All shown off on DP30 which features a beautifully re-mastered Owsley recording and who doesn't dig that?
Brown Eyed Women
March 22, 1972
Academy of Music

Like they were shot out of a cannon - just glad to alive, going to Europe in a week (for 2 months), and having a song like this. Kreutzmann and Weir shine in partic.
St. Stephen

The Ark

Stunned myself! Nothing from any of the Ark shows should be left off at this late date.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 2, 1971
Fillmore West

Yeah - the outta tune thing doesn't really bug me. Often it probably would. This is just a great show.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

U.C.

Swings like a bitch. Can't even single out a lone peak performer. Everyone shines in this sharp, bouncy orb.
