Me and My Uncle
Sept. 14, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Carries forward the energy and vibe of the preceding Ollin>NFA. Kind of mesmerizing.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith

Eloquent Jerry solo elevates this one unexpectedly.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Don’t always love the ’78s for this tune, but this howling version certainly warrants attention.

The Eleven
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Another brilliant April '69 Eleven that just doesn't let up. Forceful, but totally unforced.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 4, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Brilliantly strange. T.C.'s organ adds stuttering weirdness to a churning groovathon.

Playin' In The Band
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Oh wow. One of the very best jams I've heard from summer '73. Covers a lot of ground — hard to believe it's only 18 minutes.

Some stellar contributions from Keith here -- but I guess the same could be said for most '73 Dead.
Eyes Of The World

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

Mid-song jamming breaks are unusually long. Lovely and relaxed.

Just keeps going and going! Jerry tears this one up! Insane, really. And... it's back on Archive as of April 2015. :-)
Big River

Field House - Seneca College

Jerry just burns this sucker to the ground. Wowee zowee.
