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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
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?

every time i hear this show it's better and better; goes from really good to great to exceptional, not the least of the reasons being the strength of the "smaller" songs (this one, you win again, greatest story, looks like rain, etc.)- also the killer jams (especially that truckin'!)

I love when Jerry really gets into his vocals. So much fun.
Wharf Rat

Nassau Coliseum

Why so low? Perfect, intense, passionate version from an amazing second set and phenomenal show!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

One of my favorite years for Scarlet/Fire. Great Scarlet, weird/mellow transition jam. Love Brent's reverby, spacey electric keys.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Boston Garden

Agreed. Jerry's guitar, Phil's bass, really rockin' version.
