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.

Cryptical Envelopment
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Drop dead gorgeous, lithe, and restaurant quality perfect.

Candyman
May 1, 1980
Greensboro Coliseum

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 23, 1971
Capitol Theater

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

St. Stephen
Dec. 29, 1969
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.

Here Comes Sunshine
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Effortless, telepathic stufffff.
Estimated Prophet
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

Textbook - with Godchaux's slightly reggae clavinet and Garcia a wandering envelope minstrel. Very sweet turn into He's Gone's driveway.
Sugaree
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

A beautiful, majestic treat (my favorite era for Sugarees) - Godchaux leading the charge with urbane, instructive soliloquies from the guy with the aluminum guitar.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

Nice crispy delicacy - on a matrix plate. Weir's having some guitar fun during the coda.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

A rich, live, especially present version (especially on the matrix) - Garcia skittering nicely. Then all of a sudden Albert Ayler appears.
