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.

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.

Bird Song
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Incredibly light on its feet for such heaviness. Top flight.
Scarlet Begonias
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

About two minutes in I realized that the whole band was surging forward like a luxury liner. Music plays band.
Wharf Rat
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

. . . and it goes into a Wharf Rat? THIS Wharf Rat? Not. Even. Fair.
Crazy Fingers
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

Deeply felt, gorgeous. Truly plays out like a movie. An intense movie: an attendee loses his/her shit completely during one of the choruses. Like they just found out Deppler's mother is actually Keppler's accountant.
The Eleven
April 13, 1969
Ballroom
