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.

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.

Black Peter

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

The whole band is just luxuriating - taking it all in. Searing, gluey slide work by Garcia.
Mexicali Blues
Oct. 24, 1971
Easttown Theatre

Out of the gates Garcia's got the whole Basie orchestra out in the desert.
Dark Star
April 23, 1969
The Ark

Three minutes in and I'm hiding under a desk! Any desk! Then it gets conversational, people working out community problems TOGETHER. Dark Star is a garden of sound when delivered like this.

Kezar Stadium

Weir is skiing the mighty SG on this baby! Garcia lays low until its time to make his comments. The GD in kinetic form.
The Other One
Dec. 8, 1973
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Intimate like no one else. Jazzbos Garcia and Kreutzmann kinda lead the charge into some lovely loft space jams.
