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'.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 18, 1972
Fox Theater

A big Playin’ sandwich. This Playin’ moves like a ping pong ball down a river, crashing through boiling white-hot rapids, whirling in little eddies and sometimes just barely passing over patches of submerged moss in the thinnest of microrivulets before rejoining the main flow.
Truckin'
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

The 'Truckin' here is solid, but it's when 'Drums' (Billy! with some Phil, too) kicks in that things really get heady, leading to a pretty unique 'Feelin' Groovy' jam that is at turns bluesy and jazzy. It should be noted that this sequence ends with a great 'Morning Dew'.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Field House - Seneca College

I'm with you on this one, man. Excellent stuff. And Dave/Dick like(d) it too, as it is some of the 'filler' on DP 34.

Some good stuff happens here. Check it out!

This things just smokes. Also, Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 1 would probably have been helped by including some of the absolutely blistering first set performances that occurred during this incredible run at the MSG. You can say that again! Woops!
