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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 2, 1978
Giants Stadium

Great, but Jerry does take a dive on the outro riff of "Fire." Solid otherwise though.

I've been trying to branch out more and listen to some different years. Jerry hits peak after peak and sounds great.

Great singing, and Garcia's just having a great night.
Midnight Hour
March 21, 1970
Capitol Theater

I've grown to love these Ken Lee AUDs. It's the closest I've ever come to ever hearing what it was like to BE there.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Starlight Theatre

Oooh, what a groove! Might check out the rest of the show...
