Me and My Uncle

Strand Lyceum

Tight version. Surprised it's not on here, like the rest of this sweet show (my new sleeper favorite, along with 5/13, 4/11)...dig that organ.

Playin' In The Band

Strand Lyceum

Everything from 5/23-5/26 is heady to me...check the mellow vibe that settles in around the 8:00 mark. Followed by some nice Jerry messin' around.

Orpheum Theatre

Calm, clean, clear and expansive: this is what space sounds like to me.

April 29, 1972
Musikhalle

Rider is draggy/borderline asleep, but China Cat deserves to be listed. Only song left out from this fine Europe '72 sleeper?

Turn On Your Love Light

Madison Square Garden

^...nice choices beatboy! those guys all had a real "walkin' the bar" soulful and raunchy sound that would go great with some Pig! I'd add to that Jimmy Forrest, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Willis "Gator Jackson...
