The Eleven

Carousel Ballroom

The China Cat>The Eleven sequence was always very cool and this one burns hot and fast. Don't wanna just put all of 'em up here, but this is a cooker.

Dark Star

Carousel Ballroom

A short little gem: Nice clear solo ideas and tight ensemble playing with that bursting-at-the-seams energy from the Anthem era.

The Other One

Carousel Ballroom

It's '68 and the boys are on fire. This one pins you to the wall all its the sharp turns and jagged explosiveness. Hard pschedelic rock.

The Eleven

The Ark

So blisteringly hot. All three Ark '69 shows are brilliant, but this is the clearest example of their brilliance on Eleven.

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 15, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Just listened to it 4x in a row, something I never do. The whole intense Playin' universe packed into under 7min. Could be my favourite '71.

I hear every word your saying brother. Sorry for your loss. Strength to you that you can still dig the song. Coke has brought a lot of pain to my circles too, but I've been able to stay away from it while still not making it into a demon. Hella great show this May 14, 1970, isn't it?

How can you hate something you never did?

Having suffered a bout or two of the old Deep Elem Blues, I can say without hyperbole that this is exactly what they feel like. Top notch version here. Just exactly perfect.
