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.

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.

The Music Never Stopped
June 29, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Lovely '76 Music - practically writes itself.
Cold Rain and Snow
Dec. 2, 1973
Music Hall

Love my Cold Rains chill. This one is dreamy!
Terrapin Station
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Nice connection DS67! This is a pretty kick-ass show all around. Only recently dove in.
Estimated Prophet
April 22, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Smooth as silk. I like the concise goo of May 1977, but this stands right up with any. Garcia just fucking tears up the break. Sometimes these extended jams get lumbering - not this'n. Exquisite outro.
Scarlet Begonias
July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Sweet Scarlet whether audience or Dave's Pick. I, too, have much love for the stand-alone Scarlets. Perfected in 1976.
