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.

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Drop dead gorgeous, lithe, and restaurant quality perfect.

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
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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 27, 1972
Academy of Music

Between Kreutzmann's crackling snare, Pigpen shaking, the sincerely crazy guitar interplay, and Lesh - woof! Spritely!
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Liquid gold. The Velveeta cheese shells of rock.
Estimated Prophet

Paramount Theatre

Gooey and careful. That works!
The Other One
Aug. 26, 1971
Gaelic Park

This Other One explodes out of the gates and everyone sounds enormous. When it disintegrates and gets quiet, no one loses any stature. August. 1971. Other One. Pretty much a guarantee of pro quality.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 15, 1971
Berkeley Community Theater

It's hard to know what to swoon over first. Lesh's bass is a smooth piece of wood in your living room. August '71, this is practically a quartet except Pig plays some mean tambourine. Wind at its back.
