The Other One
March 2, 1969
Fillmore West
Vicious, relentless, fantastic, fiery scorcher out the gate to the very last insane rips of the Cryptical Envelopment Coda… totally insane, right up there with 5/2/70, 2/13/70, etc….
And yes… this is the greatest introduction, and most accurate, in GD history, when Bill Graham calls them “The American version of the Japanese film the Magnificent Seven” (which is hilarious, since Kurasowa’s film was the Seven Samurai, which John Surges based his movie on, etc, etc, etc….)
Not just one of the best Other One-Cryptical ever… one of the greatest musical works of art of all time, though the Dead are responsible for a lot of those, but….
Anyhow!!! Enjoy!!!
