Jerry's solo to close this one out is hard-driving and aggressive.

This particular version of this particular universe doesn't have a better one than this.

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
Dec. 12, 1969
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.
