The Other One

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

This is so great, maybe as good as it gets post-hiatus

Well I dig this one, sure. It has a ton of energy. Jerry spends most of the solo on chordal stuff which is heavy and nice, but for top ranking I need a little more note-playing stuff.

This is indeed a really good one. Don't think I'd say top 5, but maybe.
Ship of Fools

I like this about as much as any Ship of Fools....there may be a better one, but I can't think of what it is

This has been my favorite version for enough years that I don't think that's going to change. Cornell ranked above this is absurd. There is indeed a case for Nov. 4th, but I like this one better. But even the Mosque ahead of this? Nonsense! I take heart, though, that there are some wise comments above.
