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.

Beautiful harmonies on the vocal here. Nice and tight energy.
Playin' In The Band

Theatre Hall

I think lining up the Playin's from '71 until the hiatus is a good a study as any into how the band kept evolving. E72 is one of my favorite eras from it too, and this one doesn't disappoint. Nosiree: It starts off a bit mellow and then builds a good head of steam. By minute six or so it's got the force of a rocket. Good pick.

Way solid: One of those building and building versions that comes to a huge climax with everyone hitting it at once. Bravo.

Lille Fairgrounds

Keith, Billy, and Phil are in perfect synchronous mindmeld underneath Jer's note-for-note masterwork.
The Other One
May 13, 1972
Lille Fairgrounds

This one left some scars in Lille: At times it's like the mother of all freak-outs by that friend who some friend brought and who had no business eating all that chemistry. Then spontaneously it's the soundtrack to another f'in movie and you're watching your own mind from another one, T h e O t h e r O n e to be precise. There's a hint of Spanish to it for a bit, but man they just went completely off the chain here. The whole show is a pleasure, not a false step anywhere.
