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.

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.

DS67 - I agree totally, but I love the Ken/Judy Lee recordings. To me, they put you *there* in ways a soundboard never could. If, for some reason, they put out a Dave's Picks of the Lee recording of this show, I'd still buy it. It's a wonderful document of a great band at their peak completely blowing minds in an enclosed space. Very hard to top. This is absolutely in the same sweet place as the great 1970 performances: 2/13, 5/2, and 9/19. It might actually be crazier.

Swagger and cruising speed. Lesh and Godchaux push this one into hop forward territory. Garcia and Weir go around breaking things. Flavor Country.
