Mambo smambo. This one swings like a motherfucker! Should be higher in the strato-gallerie of Our Elders in the Tower of Happenings of and by the Circle. How is this not one the top C>Rs? A True Sizzl'r. Fuuuuck. Listen. Closely. From afar. Just listen!

And Godchaux's so into it, he plays an extra chord at the end for good measure!

This is the version you want: https://archive.org/details/gd71-11-14.sbd.miller.23568.sbeok.shnf - wonderful show.
The Other One
Nov. 14, 1971
Texas Christian University

The Other Ones from this block of time are ridiculously inspired and inventive. Garcia, Lesh, and Kreutzmann take the cockpit for the most part. But early jazzbo Godchaux dividends are already being paid. So much is accomplished in just the first 8+ minute serving. When it pops up again, it explores deeply.
