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.

Hey FreedomHaul! We're both diggin' the same show at the same time! This one is so good, and the whole show is overshadowed by the next night, which was featured as a Dick's Pick. I love how Pigpen shouts at his backup band to "tighten up" at one point.

Unjustly overshadowed by the magnificent beast of the next night, but deserving much more attention on it's own right. Short Cryptical entry, then straight to the hyperdrive: As concise a definition of Psychedelicore Dead as I know - chaos in order, and precision ensemble high voltage insanity like an engine racing waaaaaaaaay past its red line. No stopping, no helmet: It's there and back again before we get to the mellow Cryptical re-entry, which has it's own afterburners to push past any atmospheric resistance. Did you land? Whatta show - totally underrated.

Like all the electricity not spent in the acoustic set piled up into an explosion of hot wired power. Excellent solo. '70 HTHs are different from their more well-known '71 cousins. Give this a shot and you won't be disappointed.

Great harmonies with NRPS in this brilliant song and brilliant show. If you like Harper, you'll love Alfred.

hvd is right: This is the stuff. Head's more knowledgeable than I can correct me, but the jamming before the drum solo is so forward thinking for 1970. If I didn't know it was The Eleven, and dropped into it, I'd swear it was the '73 or '74 sound (minus the keys, of course) - like a hot Truckin' from that era. Just shows how much they were all moving at the time. Transitive nightfall indeed.... Really painful tape melt and cut at the end of the jam after the drum solo, though.
