The Other One
Oct. 29, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

A massive, heavy, rocketship of a performance: Explosive liftoff, mining expedition to deep space, smoking craters, then a long sweet fast ride home.

A beautifully rendered rare treat with a nice emotional arc and sweet harmonies.

Hot building and building jam. One of those shows where just every song rocks. Nothing wrong here...

Great solos, tight ensemble playing kicking of the 2nd set from a great show. Energetic and blazing.

Tight and right. The band is charged up and having fun together. Great energy.

Hey crackstraw! Am I trippin' or did our whole conversation disappear? Didn't copy your list of favorites from '79-'82. Bummer. Any chance to repost it?

Glad you dig it brother. There are certain songs that don't do it for me - hell, whole years that don't turn me on - but always happy to have a head flip me over on something new, help me hear-it-as-it-was, and discover something new in the big story that was (is) the finest band in the land.

Yo cgarces: I love this song, but kudos to you for finding the good in it on select versions. Check out April 5, 1971 for a really special gem, complete with Jerry yodeling harmonies on the out chorus.

Hey Dude420, so glad you made it over here! I just recommended this one to you over on another show where you mentioned whale calls. Dju catch that or was this cozmik coincidence?!?
Playin' In The Band
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Still with Grendel here. Of course '73 is superbly generous when it comes to Playin'. But from the start the tempo, crispness, hard-biting Bobby injects and purposeful driven quality to this are top notch. And Billy? He's an orchestra onto himself in this. Top five for '73? Maybe, maybe not, but who cares? On its own, or next to 200 others from less energetic shows, this one (and the HCS and Eyes from the second set) will send you over the blissful edge just oh-so nicely.
