Me and My Uncle
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center
Whole band clicks into the groove 45 seconds in and just watch it take off.

Turn On Your Love Light

The Spectrum
Bobby makes Pig proud with this version. I bet Jerry took his eyes off the floor for this one. Thanks to DEADOLOGY for this one (great read).

Samson and Delilah
Oct. 12, 1981
Olympia Halle
When playing like this is captured by pristine audio you want to thank everyone involved. Hold on to your hat for this one!

St. Stephen

Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara
While Jerry doesn't take this one out for a spin like later shows in '77, this version has a more swinging groove than most.

Campus Stadium - University Of California
Jerry is worth a listen on this one. He doesn't want to stop.

Mister Charlie
Dec. 31, 1971
Winterland Arena
This one catches my ear as the best '71 version, maybe it's because it is practically 1972.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 7, 1971
Harding Theatre
Fans of '71 will wonder why this one is so far down. 11-15-71 still takes the cake, but this one beats Halloween in my opinion.
Mister Charlie
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle
They are all really good towards the top, but the tempo, and Jerry's solo hits my ear just right on this one.
Bertha
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium
The only thing better than a Bertha opener, is a 9 min Bertha opener.
Friend of the Devil
Aug. 10, 1982
Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa
With meaning by all who dared.
