The Other One

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.

Massive electric pychedelia at its most heady.
St. Stephen

Avalon Ballroom

Tight and energetic. Must I've got to admit a very strong preference for the Stephen's of this era over any other. Plus Bob can be heard saying "the funniest thing I've ever heard" right after "one man gathers what another man spills", to general merriment.

Massive early version (just 15 minutes). Check out the new C. Miller for great cleanup work.

Fillmore East

The Pig's Hammond is all over this one.
Playin' In The Band
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

Playin' ('72 forward) is one indicator for me of how much collective energy the boys had for exploration. That's what makes the earliest versions of the song so interesting - when it was just a song and not a ticket to Mars and back. Here Bobby sings like his life depended on it. Very cool.
