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.

Kiel Auditorium

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.

The Eleven

Fillmore West

Sorry - didn't hear the correct version. The Eleven doesn't come out of Mason's. My bad.

Fox Theatre

One-of-a-kind transition into Mason's. Historic, if only because this was the first DS>SS after Tom C. left the band (unless they played another one in Hawaii after January 23 that didn't make it onto the Archive...).
Dark Star

Fox Theatre

Everything you could want in a 1970 Star: Tight when it needs to be, then loose when it should be, eclectic, melodic, soaring, deep, complicated... Twists its themes around themselves like a moebius strip.

The Warehouse

Re-entry comes in with supernova force and one of those throat-drying "I hope I can handle this" moments. Some folks are probably still seeing tracers from it. Though it does have a patch missing, it's still hella worth the ride.

Deep, subtle, beautiful acoustic version. So intimate, it sounds like they're just singing around a campfire.
