Fillmore West - Feb/Mar 1969 |
Which show was best...?
My favorite is 1969-03-02, because Set I is simply brilliant from beginning to end.Of course I was too busy being born 3/2 to make the show.

Re: Fillmore West - Feb/Mar 1969 |
Not to be Christian about it, but that's like asking which of the four gospels is best--one can have one's personal favorites, but the least is still pretty amazing.
So you like John. Grate stuff indeed, other than IMO the weakest TOO of the run.
I think 2-28 (Mark?) beats the others by a nose, with a tight first set including a better Dew than 3-2's rather ragged one, a more meditative Dark Star than 3-2's more intense one, the best Eleven I've ever heard, the 2nd best TOO of the run (behind 3-1), and an Alligator>Caution that is shorter than 3-2's and not so full-barreled confident but has some interesting complexities.
But what a choice to have to make! Here's an even more agonizing (senseless?) question: which night do you think is the least of the four? I can't even!

I understand the analogy, but the underlying assumption there are only four gospels is misplaced....

Re: Fillmore West - Feb/Mar 1969 |
I do tend to lean that way - I've had serious issues/problems ever since the Council of Nicea

Re: Fillmore West - Feb/Mar 1969 |
What, you're an Arian too? But if the Son isn't coeternal with the Father, the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection lose much of their salvific power!
In all seriousness, a great treatment of the development of Christian doctrine is J.N.D. Kelly's Early Christian Doctrines:
http://www.amazon.com/Early-Christian-Doctrines-J-Kelly/dp/006064334X
For my money, the early church made the right choices doctrinally, including when they rejected Gnostic ideas.

Re: Fillmore West - Feb/Mar 1969 |
All 4 nights are great, yes, though partial to my 3/2/69 birth-day show... Darkstar, Set I opener.
I just recently found my copies of the 4 shows that I had been very lucky to DL for my own personal and non-commercial use. I got them prior to the shows being removed before the box-set was sold in limited release. All four are the Archive versions, scratch, hiss, and all... but still listenable.
