Me and My Uncle

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.

Looks Like Rain

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.

I agree with the above, and want to add that if you love 80s releases and/or matrices, it's worth getting just to they put out more. /soapbox.

This is when I hear Garcia really stepping out and trying some new ideas, which infuses the rest of the night with some serious magic. Three songs in (and the first two ain't bad either!)!

It sounded like Jerry was a bit vocally fatigued, but then he kicked on the effects and shreds. Absolutely worth a listen.
Feel Like A Stranger

Yes! Those are some great synth tones, and they mesh very well with the tone Garcia's dialing in tonight. Also some nice interplay between J G, Brent, and Bobby.

Fillmore East

This whole thing is too funny in context.
