Playin' In The Band
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion
When someone asks you why people play the bass. this is what you need to play to them. Phil bombing the way forth for the band. Is jerry leading? is Phil leading? does it matter? when this kind of interplay boils through the surface,you could follow a fractal and reach any conclusion you like. that's the power of this version. it's jazz; a path that any creative being aspires towards. an infinity of patterns and interplay that you get to pick and follow from the content of the noise wall that's mounted by the sentient exploration and experiential familiarity that the grateful dead honed over the years; the essence of what makes them such a force.
