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.

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.

Playin' In The Band
Nov. 15, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

If you like the electric guitar, this is a highlight. Hear how two great and entirely different guitar players work off each other. Oh yeah - and the rest of the group is right up there in the rarified air. This rendition excels completely - not a surprise coming from this tour.
The Other One
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Proves that the group could have a light touch and swing w/two drummers. Garcia's firefly guitar sets the tone, however. Another sweet '76 Other One in the bank.

Boston Music Hall

A beautiful, smooth version. Godchaux's accent are dope. Garcia's silvery guitar break is sublime.
