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
Dec. 1, 1971
Boston Music Hall

Thanks a lot Blob Weird. That's one of my favorite versions and I'll check it out again for the tease. I love how the Dead mix everything together - the delicate theme from WRS right in the middle of a sweaty Pig blues... and why not? Sorry about the double post. UPDATE: It's actualy in the outro of TOO after MAMU, not Hard to Handle, but it's certainly there. Cool!

WRS Prelude "tease" at 3:13 of the reprise. It's absolutely clear. Does anybody know of one earlier? Anybody? Also a very beautiful and great jam after MAMU.

Sweet and honest, this song always gives me chills. The Betty Board is oh so nice.

Starts as a whisper and takes its time, filled with silences and, well, space, not "Space". It builds then into the great musical promise that is Dark Star at its most wonderous and beautiful.
