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.

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.

Agree w/everyone here - this one brings the funk! Garcia in fine MuTron form and I've come to accept that Myland pushes things in a good way. The re-visit suits this version. Confident and brash - it's grown on me.

A fabulous BEW, but Garcia's guitar break on 5/8 is still my favorite most days of the week. I'll take either one, but I won't, I can't stand for 5/8's BEW be called overrated.

A little clumsy and too much Mydland tinkling, but the heart is there!

Dave & I dig the comments and dig this ZESTY version!
The Other One

Fillmore West

Pigpen at the controls for some of this - pushes it into the stratosphere. Of course, the rest of the group is responsive like a Mustang. No weak links in this one - no dead wood. Ace shit!
