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
May 1, 1980
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.

Playin' In The Band
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Taken at a refreshing, brisk pace. Kreutzmann's sticks barely touch skin at times - free and easy. Into UJB and back!
Althea
Oct. 15, 1981
Melkweg

Effortless cozy rec-room vibe.
Estimated Prophet
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

High energy, a little raw (to good effect) - and Garcia just sluices throughout the coda, tight corners taken at liquid speed.
Scarlet Begonias
Aug. 4, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Center

The rhythm section slashing and burning. Lesh is a crouching lotus. Or loutish crotch. Either way.
They Love Each Other
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Beautiful long intro - the guitars go deep Motown all through this one. Delicious. Capacious. Delaptious.
