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.

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.

Terrapin Station
Nov. 28, 1980
Lakeland Civic Center

A particularly present and cozy Terrapin. Attention to detail. Check. Breathy melodicism. Check. OK - this one's ready for display.
Wharf Rat

Orpheum Theater

This one has the magic. Garcia inhabits the story. Slow, elegiac - delivers the sweet stuff. And patient. Almost forgot patient.
Let It Grow

Orpheum Theater

Ripped my mustache right off! Run great show! RUN! Never look back! Be who you're meant to be! Whom?
Estimated Prophet
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center

High energy, sprightly, bouncy, and (yes) fresh. (fresh) yes. High bounce, high spright. Garcia - a ride down the Nile.
Wharf Rat
Feb. 21, 1971
Capitol Theater

Very tight, very playful. Fitting out the new threads. Lesh is more.
