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.

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.

Uptown Theatre

Nothing wrong with this one at all. Spirited, crispadelic. You could move into Lesh's bass for the winter!
The Eleven
Feb. 24, 1968
Kings Beach Bowl

Garcia looping around the proceedings like a hummingbird. An inquisitive hummingbird.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Springfield Civic Center

1972 - Is there anything this band can't do?
The Other One
Dec. 6, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Sometimes 1971 is my favorite year of the Dead. The space, pace, and elbow grace in this is one of those times. Everyone just at the top of their game(s). Confidence, patience, trust in their fellow wanderers.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 22, 1971
Bangor Municipal Auditorium

That beefy, caramel 4/71 bass - the band scatters paper airplanes throughout the room. Weir and Garcia - the customary byplay. Moneypenny!
