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.

Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Drop dead gorgeous, lithe, and restaurant quality perfect.

Clear To Hell - Hear how a luscious Candyman absorbs a crowd in NC.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

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.

Terrapin Station
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

A little bemused this one hasn't gotten more ink. Has every element and quite high-octane. Garcia is wearing the conductor's robe, but the drums are right there translating in real time.
The Other One
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

Intimate and smooth-lane-shifting - largely due to Kreutzmann. He was soooooo happy back there alone. Just a deluxe Other One.
Truckin'
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

Garcia hitting the crystalline half-harmonics. Funky Buffalo edition.
He's Gone
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

Does it get any silkier than Spring '73? Me no think so.
Scarlet Begonias

Winterland Arena

I'd classify this RIP-SNORTING. There are smoother, more glistening versions, but this one has spunk! I hate spunk. Kidding. This version is fucking great. Bonus points: KG setting the table with filters and such.
