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.

Candyman

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.

Stella Blue
March 21, 1986
Hampton Coliseum

I remember being there. The emotion of the version is pretty high throughout. Then Garcia belts out the bridge and lights the fuse with his guitar break. The Hampton roof blew the fuck off.
Cosmic Charlie
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West

Schizo version - perfect for this song, but creepy.
The Other One
May 31, 1969
McArthur Court, University of Oregon

An intense show - no shock this Other One is a wild truant beast.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 1, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

This is a Scarlet>Fire out of time. It has none of the drawbacks of the time and all of the swag and mystery of a Scarlet>Fire that has both already happened and not happened yet.
Brown Eyed Women
June 18, 1976
Capitol Theatre

This is one of those Kreutzmann-Hart II endeavors that pays off for all concerned. And I'm concerned - very concerned.
