The Eleven

Carousel Ballroom

The China Cat>The Eleven sequence was always very cool and this one burns hot and fast. Don't wanna just put all of 'em up here, but this is a cooker.

Carousel Ballroom

A short little gem: Nice clear solo ideas and tight ensemble playing with that bursting-at-the-seams energy from the Anthem era.

It's '68 and the boys are on fire. This one pins you to the wall all its the sharp turns and jagged explosiveness. Hard pschedelic rock.

The Ark

So blisteringly hot. All three Ark '69 shows are brilliant, but this is the clearest example of their brilliance on Eleven.

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 15, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Just listened to it 4x in a row, something I never do. The whole intense Playin' universe packed into under 7min. Could be my favourite '71.

The Mosque

Fast, tight and pure. Jer shreds, Bobby's on, the Devils are relentlessly perfect. This is great stuff.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

A nice rocker with a beautiful, soulful jam coming out of the hella-outrageous Lovelight. Great end to an awesome show.

Quinn_76: Check out the Rambler Room show from November 17, 1978 for an amazing short acoustic set that will bliss you quite sweetly, friend.

Sorry for double post, but now I'll just say it. This is the big bomb. Really: this is atomic fire, the melting of suns, the collision of Dead galaxies. Harder wilder more explosive Dead I defy anyone to find.

Am I insane for saying that the TOO and 2nd Cryptical are harder acid metal than anything ever performed by Sabbath or Zep or ??? Jer shreds too hard. Must have really freaked out a few with this scary ride.
