Me and My Uncle

Dane County Coliseum

Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

Grand Prix Racecourse

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

Playin' In The Band

Hofheinz Pavilion

The first time I heard this it scared the hell out of me. Intense playing!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

Circled back around to this one apparently! Very good version with a great transition. Nice matrix of this cures what ails ya.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

Still surprised to see that this has gotten no love! First ever 1/2 Step > Franklins and it's a fire version! Great matrix of this, give it an ear.
Dark Star

Paramount Theater

Another great version from 72!
Alligator
Aug. 5, 1967
O'Keefe Center

This version needs some serious love. Face melting Primal Dead right here!
