Mindblowing jams reminiscent of the massive '72s. Check out Jer and Phil interplay around 10:00.

Third time performed and still a bit loose in the joints, but tighter and funkier than Dane County 2 days earlier.

Mellow in places, shredding in others, goes in and out of off-the-rails trippyness but doesn't meltdown. Why isn't this one already here?

Brilliant, lightning-speed Jerry soloing behind Bobby. Worth many a listen in a great great show.

Fun and enthusiastic, if not just a little loose in the joints. Good energy and a great show all around.

The Other One
Jan. 17, 1969
Civic Auditorium

Fans of psychedelicore and hard core scary-ride Dead that shoots you out of a cannon, blows you to pieces, then brings you back in to land maybe just a little shook up by it all will love this one. Should rate much higher here.

Melodic, adventurous, and straight forward. Beautiful spontaneous composition and development of the DS theme, without going into wild interstellar space or melting down. Just lovely.

Needs a lot more love. If there were no other recordings of the Grateful Dead except this MM-DS-SS-11 segment, they'd still be known as the best jamming band of the age.

Thanks Dude420. Them's kind words. This one is really solid. I always felt that "serious" heads had some weird chip on their shoulders about St. Stevie. Why? 'Cause they dropped it or cause Jerry didn't want to play it? Cause we held signs asking for it and never got it? So what! This is what pinned me to the wall at the tender heady age of twelve and got me counting the months before I could catch 'em live. Was that in the Aoxomoxoa era? Hell no, but thanx to the archive, I can get it now. This is killer Dead, hardcore psychedelic nobullschittgetonthebusorgetoffthebuslieonthefloorandtryandholdon dangerdead.
