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.

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

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.

St. Stephen
Feb. 4, 1970
Family Dog at the Great Highway

This is a sultry little model. But also crisp.
The Other One
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

A little surprised there aren't more '71 Other Ones higher on the list. From interviews at the time, they were super into this as the cutting edge of what they did. So full-bodied, yet spare. Power.
The Eleven
April 27, 1969
Labor Temple

Jeeez-us
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 28, 1973
Civic Center

Lovely liquidy 73 China>Rider. And Bobby goes absolutely ape in his "guitar solo" portion of transition. Really hot version.
The Other One
April 28, 1971
Fillmore East

Definitely surprised this isn't waaaaay higher. This one has lots of wide architectural spaces and clusterfuck caverns. I'm turning into Nipsy Russell.
