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.

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.

Garcia's voice actually sounds pretty good tonight, and he's clearly glad to be singing throughout this whole show.

Jerry shows up ready to play!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Kick ass version and very little slide-town Bobby? Hell yes.
Caution
Nov. 1, 1968
Silver Dollar Fair

Also, the feedback that happens after is a must hear. Very musical and has the pure crystalline quality of warm cosmic whale song.

Silver Dollar Fair

A very good version. Everything before and after the atrocious sound in the middle of the set should be heard.
