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.

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

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
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Super lithe Playin' here. Garcia and Lesh practically speak in one voice at times.
Sugaree
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

The foot sits easy on the pedal on this one - the band is effortlessly able to shift between different dynamics almost imperceptibly.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Thanks Figgywithit I miss Jerry - this is worthy of sneaking onto the ship before it slips the dock. Super patient and squeezable version. A classic Scarlet>Fire.
Bird Song
July 4, 1981
Manor Downs

A (very nice) second set Bird Song. Part of a sweet, loose show.
Not Fade Away
March 21, 1970
Capitol Theater

The atmosphere of the 1970 Capitol shows is so immersive! Garcia and Lesh are in top quality form. A favorite NFA.
