The Other One

Fox Theatre

An immortal. Very experimental, so many melodic fragments amongst the splintered cosmos - they pull a surprise out of the hat. Check it out.

Sitting on Top of the World
Dec. 10, 1971
Fox Theatre

Buried in the extraterrestrial outer reaches of an immortal TOO this emerges, brings a 'how's they do that?!' vibe then disappears back into chaos.

Bickershaw Festival

Smokin' hot show opener. The band is ultra tight and kick things off with force.

Black Throated Wind
Sept. 20, 1974
Palais Des Sports

Looser than 18.09.74, but more intense in its buildup and climax. Wait for it, it slow-rises then comes on like a tsunami.

Parc des Expositions

Sweet gossamer comedown nicely after the angular intensity of Eyes. Jerry's voice is smooth and lovely.

A real surprise and treat after the finger blistering Dancin'. Right now becomes my favorite ever.
Dancin' in the Streets
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

In as close to a flawless show as this one, the Dancin' really stands out for its incredibly shredding good time vibe.
Jack Straw

Philadelphia Civic Center

Woke up with Jack Straw in my mind, came here for this and BANG! Absolutely ripping version. Great stuff.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Faster than others from the era, but never rushed: Finds a really nice pocket and grooves there. High octane indeed.
Dark Star

Hofheinz Pavilion

Has it all. Nice to get into this whole show, not just the immortal PITB.
