Me and My Uncle

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.

The Other One
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

This is the peak of an absolutely classic show. I listened to this running today and I don't ever remember running. This version would constitute showing off in lesser hands. Serious travelogue.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

well said!
The Other One
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Absolutely ferocious Other One that travels all over town, drops in a perfect Me & My Uncle, and emerges into different territory altogether. An ELITE Other One. A this-is-why-the-GD-are-awesome Other One.
Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 30, 1973
Boston Music Hall

The improv passages are so light-on-their-feet and twisty-tangled = a fucking ACE rendition of this lovely.

Baltimore Civic Center

A diggin'-in version - Garcia's Strat once again is a wonder. Band toils behind him in perfect modulating dynamic lock-step.
