Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Me and My Uncle

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Most fiery shuffle-kickin', revolver slingin' MAMU i've heard.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 12, 1973
Omni Coliseum

You know, when they're through with the verses at the start and reach the end of the final 10/4 beat and the music "drops": This Playin' has one of the best "drops". 1973 has such psychedelic and mellow versions, i never get tired of them.

Most powerful vocal performance on this song - bar none.
Dark Star
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Turning into a favorite of mine fast, the Dark Star > Main Ten > Dancin' sequence is killer good. And to be honest, i would still listen to the Lee AUD if there was a SBD available, the AUD quality makes it all the more spacey, mysterious and eerie.
