It was a simple chord change after all. I learned this from the Taping Compendium in a review of a 1970 show. This post describes one of the coolest moves the Dead ever did in their wide repertoire of cool moves.
This is no Me & My Uncle> Mama Tried. This is the waking up from a 25 minute way out-there The Other One or Dark Star jam into a Bobby cosmic cowboy tune. And often back into Dark Star or The Other One
If I missed one or two, let me know. Not exactly perfect here (that anniverdsary is coming up in just about a month, mr. playin>china>rider.
The sandwiched songs I'm counting are Uncle, Mama Tried, Mexicali, El Paso, Sitting, Bobby McGee and the Like. Ok, ok, Sitting ain;t exactly a Cowboy tune, but you get the drift. We can share here
The sandwich versions are:
The Other One > Me And My Uncle >Other One
The Other One> Mexicali Blues > The Other One
Dark Star>Uncle>Dark Star
The Other One>Bobby McGee>The Other One
Dark Star>Sitting on the Top of the World>Dark Star
The Other One>Sitting>The Other One
You can click on the archive link to hear any of these. Don't forget to donate there, they are the granddaddys and Mamas of the internet.
