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.

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.

Wild space.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

All around great show from a great run of shows. This China quickly moves into a IKYR-feel, then a great Feeling Groovy Jam. The Rider is stunningly good and the music just lifts off and takes wing.

Even by '73 standards this is hotter than hot. Listen to the whole concert: Not one clunker.

Top form '73 in a spectacular show from first note to finish. Truckin'>TOO>IKYR just mindbending. First set is a shitkickin' country bender. All good.
The Other One

War Memorial

Totally overlooked concert.
