Bertha
Feb. 21, 1971
Capitol Theater
Warp speed, precise, slightly unhinged, and driving into the greenish-blue evening.

Jack Straw
Oct. 30, 1971
Taft Auditorium
Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

Brown Eyed Women
May 20, 1973
U.C.
A giggly, slangy Garcia masterpiece (in sweet show sauce). Goes down EZ.

Mexicali Blues

Salt Palace
So good you can practically see the border town.

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.

The Other One
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom
One of my favorite shows ever - both the performance and the stunning recording. Invention in every second of this Other One. Like everything from this show, underpants drawer! This is what the 2-drummer model was supposed to sound like!
Estimated Prophet
April 22, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium
Dave & I: "Spot on!"
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum
Maybe not as well known as 9/7, but it does zip! Crisp & high-level group interaction. Garcia-Weir-Godchaux weave in and out of each other's wake turbulence like its nothing. A great & undervalued Eyes.
They Love Each Other
Feb. 26, 1973
Pershing Municipal Auditorium
Fast version every single day - although the bridge is always superfluous & clunky. And this one sails!
Beat it on Down The Line
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum
Just jammed this on my way to work and it cut the commute time in half!
