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.

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.

St. Stephen
May 14, 1970
Merramec Community College

Tight, terraplanic swagger. Takes no prisoners (whatever that means).
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 30, 1980
Fox Theatre

Frisky and quick-twitch! Garcia hits a few power chords in the verse right before the long stretch out. A fan of this run of southeastern shows & this is one of the best 80s Playins I've heard. Rip roarin'!
It Must Have Been The Roses
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

Both 8/4 and 8/5 are among my favorite versions of Roses. Everyone brings some sweet element to the table. Garcia, of course, front and center with anguished voice and wiry electric guitar.

Fillmore East

Point taken, Mercury.
