Me and My Uncle
Sept. 14, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Carries forward the energy and vibe of the preceding Ollin>NFA. Kind of mesmerizing.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

Eloquent Jerry solo elevates this one unexpectedly.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Don’t always love the ’78s for this tune, but this howling version certainly warrants attention.

The Eleven
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Another brilliant April '69 Eleven that just doesn't let up. Forceful, but totally unforced.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Brilliantly strange. T.C.'s organ adds stuttering weirdness to a churning groovathon.

And how about those Caution teases from Phil?! Good lord.

Anyone else hear a momentary "Sorcerer's Apprentice" tease from Jerry in Space, give or take six minutes in?

^^ What Grendel said. I’m truly not certain if I’ve heard a better version of this song from ’77.
St. Stephen

Shrine Auditorium

Primal Dead throwback. Absolutely electrifying.
Space
Oct. 22, 1983
Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

This is an amazing, symphonic Space with a beautiful sense of movement. Highly recommended.
