Uncle John's Band

It's probably the best to lay me down ever.

And that happens to be 10, 1974. from the winter layer, that incredible show with the Great Eyes of the World in the first set, the Sugar Magnolia, the Uncle John's Band Loop.

It's just an incredible show, you know? But the Lay Me Down in that first set is incredible.

It's the best whatever, if you ask me.

Yeah, you know, this is not easy.

My God.

You know what? I think I'm going to go with the opener, the Uncle John's Band.

It wasn't the greatest version I've ever heard.

Okay, so it's set two on night three of three at the Hampton Coliseum.

The Grateful Dead open with an Uncle John's Band that may not hit many of the lyrical marks, but still comes across as pleasant.

Kinda like that person you meet at a party.

You know something about them is a little off, but overall, they're a hell of a lot of fun to be around.

Brent was new in the band, a year old.

The band was playing songs that hadn't played in forever, The Wheel and China Doll, and starting to play songs regularly like Uncle John's Band.

There was so much incredible music.

Grateful Dead memory would be 1980 as a whole.
