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.

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Musikhalle

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

Also really dig this song and this version, though could see how it could be tough to take at a show; so depressing and melancholy

^agree that Jerry's vocals are on here, and really throughout the whole show
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

I rarely make a negative comment, but this one just really doesn't do it for me. Trying to get into '77 dead. Wan't to. Can't.

Parc des Expositions

^ agree with above: dreamy, trippy, luscious. my new favorite.
Ramble On Rose

Manor Downs

Really surprised to find this so low. Bouncy, rockin' version that reminds me of those stellar '78 ones. Surprisingly great early 80s Jerry vocals.
