Beautiful harmonies and country soul. Brilliant and historically important show.

Playin' In The Band

Capitol Theater

First performance ever and it's slower, but beautiful and raw. Bobby sings like a country warbler typical of the '71s. Historically interesting.

Greatest Story Ever Told
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Primordial version, first time played, introduced as "Mickey wants to call this one 'The Pump Man' for reasons of his own." Raw and unlike any other.

Loser

Capitol Theater

First Loser ever and the last Mickey show before his break. Brilliant version, hot energetic vocals and that good '71 sound.

Dripping with deep-soul. Pigpen's voice at its best. Sounds like honey.

The Other One
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Not your old granny's The Other One - unless of course your old granny was that hot lady with the clean sunshine hanging out with the tapers.... Seriously though this is hot psychedelia that goes through all the phases, but doesn't have the hard metal edge of some from the era. Far far out, but never pushes you over the edge. A great show of their control and chaos, followed by a sublime Brokedown.

They're breathing as one, and this has some gorgeous, subtle interplay. Just perfect.
Truckin'

Century II Convention Hall

A few moments about a minute before they change time signatures into 6/8 for the TOO shift and it sounds almost like a Nobody's Fault But Mine jam - not quite, but just enough of Phil/Jerry interplay to suggest it was in the air.

No question, this one has a little extra chili pepper in it.

Simply on fire. Brilliant.
