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 Wheel
Sept. 28, 1976
Onondaga County War Memorial

Fall '76 might be a peak time for this great song. Garcia, clean as daylights, floats on a silvery cloud.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 28, 1976
Onondaga County War Memorial

Lesh sets the table. I love the outer space quality of Fall '76 Playins. The drums still have deep purpose (nearly tribal) and Garcia's emitting static electricity Magic Ball lightbulb flashes/strikes.
Dark Star
April 21, 1969
The Ark

Been away too long on this one. These three Ark shows - here is the next box. Just do it, David Lemieux, or whomever. CLASSIC Dark Star!
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 28, 1976
Onondaga County War Memorial

Cool transition out of Drums, at warp speed. The Orange Tango is a lovely side-trip.
The Eleven
Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

Up 1 with the revisit. This is shamefully low. There - I said it.
