Wow! This one builds mightily. With a brand new Touch of Grey (1st ever!) encore to follow!

Smooth and slinky, beautifully sandwiched between a gorgeous High Time and a flawless He's Gone!

Uncle John's Band
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena

EPIC. EPIC. EPIC. This sequence, done perfectly from time to time, is one of those things that makes the Good ‘Ol Grateful Dead the finest band in the land. When the gorgeous Dew segues seamlessly back into UJB, then finds its way back to that Playin’……it’s as epic as any piece of music ever recorded, as powerful as anything Mozart, Beethoven, whatever, whoever, ever composed! I kid you not at all! And…. Epic is not a word to be used lightly!!!

Seriously! This is so amazingly just about exactly right! I totally forgot I wrote comment here already, came here to write about how we have a lot of versions way over 100 points, etc. Then realized I didn’t even vote for this one!! LOL!

A tsunami from a ghostly symphony!!! It surges, ebbs and flows. The transition is phenomenal. The whole shebang is brilliant!!
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Swing Auditorium

PHIL BOMBS GALLORE!!! Heavy metal thunder SLIPKNOT!!!! Shocked I never voted for this, one of my favorite shows ever!!! Glad to make it 101!!!
The Other One
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

Both Crypticals (the intro and the outro) are total scorchers on this night!!!!! As Bill Graham calls them at the start of this brilliant piece of music, the Last of the Gay Desperadoes were capable of being the greatest hard rock band in the world. Or as Miles Davis said, they were just a brilliant jazz band who played rock…..
