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.

Drop dead gorgeous, lithe, and restaurant quality perfect.

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.

Dark Star
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

A very regal beagle. Every February 1969 Dark Star is special and unique. This one winds around in apparently boundless creative discovery. Garcia's take off @ 11:00 is memorable. Thus begins the golden age of Dark Star. And so it has been written.
Dark Star

Gulfstream Park Race Track

Agree - this one needs and deserves more action. Concise like the first Dark Stars, but also exploratory. Garcia getting used to being able to carry the conversation through high-speed channeling and old school Les Paul trickery.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 16, 1972
Boston Music Hall

Yo-yeah on the Sick Bits matrix. This is a wonderful Playin' and on the matrix you get enough atmosphere to feel the effect it had on the crowd, on the room. On the Crown. Beautiful subtlety. Kruetzmann is just a master. I know 9/15/72 much better, but this is one motherfucker of a show.
