The Other One
Dec. 10, 1971
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

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

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.

China Doll

Parc des Expositions

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

Jerry's never sounded so crisp. He slashes through it like a sunlight machete.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Possible the tightest outro of all of them. Can I vote for this twice? Shieeeeeet, it just rocks.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

This hits me deep in the brain. This is the sound of infinity, goodness in the cosmos, light triumphant, ecstasy. If streaming, don't bother with any copy other than Charlie Miller's.
Me and My Uncle
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Whole show kicks ass.

1st version ever and its a Big Bang. All the Bertha openers throughout the years come out of this one.
