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.

7" perfect. Carrion_Crow has got it pegged: Garcia + Strat = The Sound of Electric Guitar In America. Perfection.
Bird Song

St. Paul Auditorium

ooooobie doooobie. This is a tasty piece of taffy. Matt & Dave agree - although they've said nothing.

Raw and kind of rip-snorting. Yeah - I know it's a ballad, but man: some underhanded intentions here. Sounds pretty much like the quartet on this one - love that band. They fill up the extra space by not filling up the extra space. You heard me.
The Other One

Hollywood Palladium

Like walking into the middle of a conversation. A really interesting conversation. Beautiful, beaming cross-talk between Garcia, Weir, and Lesh. Yes, Carrion, overlooked a bit, but definitely a more reserved relative of the next night's roll out.
The Eleven

Eagles Auditorium

Love how this one opens - science fiction confusion! Just an electric socket of a show and ferociously good alchemy!!!! Nice tip - gets me into the whole show! Lovely transition into Caution, too.
