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.

Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

Lesh is in zesty form from the drop of the flag and Garcia's solo is underpants drawer!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Dave says "off the fucking hook" or something really similar. You see me arguing? You don't. No. You. Don't.
Weather Report Suite
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Patience Grasshopper. This is one of my favorite WRS jaunts ever. A big reason: Godchaux's Rhodes. Hypnotic. During Garcia's slide solo? Fucking forget about it! The rest of the group acquits itself quite nicely. Due a raise.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

I don't hear how the Help is in any way deficient. Garcia's practically skating on the Bean and the drums are synced and killer - especially Kruetzmann.
Here Comes Sunshine
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Garcia laying it on thick. Declarative, decisive, a cooler full of hooks.
