Ramble On Rose
Oct. 24, 1971
Easttown Theatre

This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Feb. 4, 1969
The Music Box

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Winterland Arena

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

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
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

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!
