Or maybe the 12th. Who cares. It's simply beautiful.

Totally free. There are Mountain Jam themes, met with Stephen Jams, then Bid You Goodnight themes. Seems they couldn't get enough. Good stuff.

The single best transition into Cosmic Charlie (from TOO) that I know of. From an era when they still meant it as a psychedelic anthem... Love this.

Forgotten show with a high-voltage and energetic jam, intersected with a sweet Attics. Great show, low quality AUD.

The Other One
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Brilliant version. There's a unique space around minute 13:00 where Jerry is almost alone in the darkness, tweaking and reaching out, followed by whooshing zooms that can give you flashbacks forty-five-odd (very odd) years later, not to mention the under-water sea adventure that it leads into before a great meltdown for the ages. This is the goods, heads.

Could be the mix or the levels, but I am digging Phil's precise, technically flawless playing here. His subtlety and finesse are too easily overlooked. Reminds me of why I always aimed for the Phil zone whenever I could.

Classically under-rated song. Listen to Jerry's continuous percolating cantina gingerbread like a pot of boiling beans, while Phil gives a perfect master-class. Great version.
Greatest Story Ever Told

One of those moments where the band just explodes with the pure joy of playing wonderful music together. Jerry just launches Stephen like a trebuchet.

Jbrucer: Hope you found the archive more to your liking. I know I did. "Ripping" is the right word for this UJB. Sounds like they didn't want to stop playing and just got warm.
