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

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.

The Eleven

Fillmore West

Garcia gets unhinged. And he never tires or runs out of fab ideas.
St. Stephen
June 24, 1970
Capitol Theatre

Maybe The One. 'specially in context.
The Eleven
Jan. 17, 1969
Civic Auditorium

Blasphemy, I know, but I think I like this one more than the famous 1/26/1969. There. I said it.
Shakedown Street
June 30, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

A summer smoker. Then a telepathic, wild side trip. I was at these two Merriweather shows (6/30 & 7/1) and they each had a number of vista cruiser moments - this Shakedown hovering right up there around the top. A classic.
Viola Lee Blues
April 21, 1969
The Ark

Slo-mo, hypnogogic, and dark, but Garcia keeps the mood frisky. Such a rich slow.
