The Other One

Civic Arena

Shoots you straight out of the cannon. Super tight jam into a sweet sweet Wharf Rat

Playin' In The Band
April 12, 1971
Civic Arena

Students of Playin's transformation from the Main Ten to country single to cosmic monster should check this. Tightly packed and just about to sprout.

Listen closely and you can hear exactly where April '71 becomes legendary.

Outrageous blazing jam.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Boston Music Hall

Mega show here folks. Bobby's high in the mix and driving the train. The China's fine, but the Rider kicks serious ass.

Uncle John's Band
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

The energy and drive on this is unparalleled. The outro(s) are just phenomenal, and all after hours of high-velocity, outer-spheres-crazy creative jamming: The finest band in the land indeed.
Ramble On Rose
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Convincing, up-tempo pulse to it. Never lags, as some RoRs do.
Sugar Magnolia
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Has the rhythm and thrust of an 18-wheeler cruising 85 m.p.h. If this doesn't get you out of your chair to dance, then nothing will.
Morning Dew
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

This DS>Dew is as sublime an arc as I know in the whole oeuvre. The whole range of whisper to cataclysm is on display. Jerry's voice is also in great shape, and the whole thing seems unworldly.
Brown Eyed Women

Berkeley Community Theatre

You got that right, Glyn. This whole show could have gone straight to vinyl. The highlights from this Berkeley run are top '72 (says a hell of a lot), and just Peak Dead all around.
