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.

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Right on gdtrfb headly mellon. I've always been fascinated by the development of Playin' and looks like you've done the research. I think the germ of Bacchus Dionysus always lay deep in Playin's "The Main Ten" kernel, and it took them just over a year to birth the young and reckless God within it. Check out the Capitol Theater shows on 06 & 08 November 1970 if you haven't already.

I was there and there was a lot of emotion running through the scene when this came on. The whole run at Kaiser carries a lot of weight as another turning point in the story. Thanks for the flashback.
Me and Bobby McGee

Olympia Theater

Sweet sweet lovin' for you and balm for your soul spliced right there inside a wicked 40 minute TOO from the dark side. Sweetness and light with jagged bits of scary return.

This is a deep ride. Love how in emerges from a trickle into a raging cataract. Check how Phil tries to lead it in about 7 min but gets vetoed by the others, who have more deep space to explore first. 17 min jam before the first verse - almost 40 minutes total not including 3 min of drums in the middle. And a gorgeous Bobby McGee sandwich. Wow.

Apocalyptic hard rock from the hard core era. Did they ever sound so dangerous again as they did until 01.01.1970? Like a deep 'scare the squares and watch out for flying metal' dangerous. Skull-fucked indeed.
