The Other One

Winterland Arena

If Picasso's 'Guernica' had a small cut in it it would still be a masterpiece. This TOO has a bad cut in the recording but is still a masterpiece. A+

Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

This is heady but it's now believed to have occurred on 5-11-69 in San Diego.

A highly edited but well-worth-your-time video of this kickass performance is now up on youtube.

Jerry's singing and electrified Keith make this one heady.

Plenty happening on this one to warrant a listen. Nice segue into 'Drums'.

Fillmore East

I've been wondering the same thing of late, CarrionCrow. I've wanted to post the feedback from the 12/12/69 for a long time as that one is a nice piece of spontaneous composition.

Fantastic stuff. A great sequence. Is it my favorite? Don't know. But does it deliver the goods? Big time.

More interesting and fun and so just plain better than any I've heard from '72.

Preposterously underrated.
Uncle John's Band

Thelma Theater

I remarked to myself when I first heard this on the Dave's Pick. After more listens, it is now one of those 'Uncle John's Band's that I think of when I think of my favorite 'Uncle John's Band's. Wraps the deep, primal ethos of the tune in a warmth and exploration and obvious good cheer that is less to be had on many other versions.
