This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

The Other One
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

Among other things, what an epic twin guitar slalom! But the whole band is just skating. Great dynamic shifts. This version deserves its own liner notes - displays all the best aspects of top drawer live GD.

Dream Bowl

A little surprised this one - which just kicks your neck off - doesn't have more votes. A fine-tuned precision instrument caroming out of control.
Terrapin Station

Winterland Arena

This would be a career highlight even without the Alhambra. Silky & melodramatic in the best way. Ripping bodices, the mansion on fire, A REVOLUTION!!!!, Garcia & Godchaux. Oh - and then Alhambra/At A Siding! It's a weighty gift. Respeck.

Clean and murky. That's how we like 'em here!
