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.

Tight and right. The band is charged up and having fun together. Great energy.

Bobby's really clear on the Miller mix, and it's excellent. Too many shows from '72 have him way way too far back in the sound. This is closer to what I remember it being like live.

Get some headphones for this, and marvel at just what Keith was capable of when he was at his best. This whole set is packed with underappreciated gems like this one: The band is in total mind-meld, while Keith is just spectacular throughout.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Transition to Rider rev's up and is just about to overheat when they pull it way back and start singing quite sweetly. Nice touch - but an awful cut in my version.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

The first NFA has its moments and is worth a vote, but stick around for the lickety-split GDTRFB (seems like it's accelerating!) and Jerry lets you know just how much water he's got left in the well. The outro then picks up the energy and they close out on a blistering jam. Great stuff.
Wharf Rat

Stanley Theatre

A real beaut with a perfect fade-out, ending a great 2nd hour-long jam.
