It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this one. the playing and vocal harmonies are on the money.

The steel guitar, which I assume Jerry is playing, really helps to make this early version a good one.

Comments

The Eleven
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Jerry takes a tenuous approach in the intro then works his way up to some assertive and imaginative playing. This version is tight and well executed by all!
St. Stephen
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a very solid St Steven worthy of much higher recognition. This is on the soon to be released Dave's Picks 30. The Late and Early show archive source is quite good, though. The Eleven that follows this is a classic.
Dark Star
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is the Swiss Army Knife of Dark Stars, multiple functions in one unit: Classic psychedelic rock, space, ambient, soundscape, tighten-up, feelin groovy; It's all there. This was really a gateway piece for the Dark Stars that would follow this one. T.C was really contributing on this one. Trouble ahead for him, and the rest of the band, but on this night they shined.
The Other One
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

This is an improvisational adventure that needs to be heard!
Cryptical Envelopment

There are so many good -That's it for the Other One's - from this era, this one is certanly up there. The gage for me now. is if I have the volume so high that I lose a little more of the hearing that I have left. I caught my self really blasting this one!
