At the time of this show it was called the Oakland Auditorium. HJK became its official name a coupla, three years later.

I thought they played "The Eleven" at one of their 1975 shows at Kezar or Lindley.

Nope, that wasn't even the full dead, Merl Saunders on keys at Kaizer. Just a instrumental jam to try out Blues For Allah. Also did Sugar mag and i believe JBG.

Anonymous (02/01/2014) is right, they did an Eleven jam at the Lindley Meadow show in '75

-Anonymous (11/13/2014)


The Lindley Meadows show didn't contain an Eleven jam. It was just a jam. Not even in the same time signature. At least that's how it's recorded on the copies in archives and on here. Everyone hears something different in a jam though, so it could be.

And they didn't play ithe 11 here either, Ethan. One must petition those who've named it such to reconsider after a sentence of further listening to Live Dead. Pax Omnis.

I have it in my book as the 10 & 1/2.. :)

Agree people hear what they want sometimes. That said as far as I'm concerned it can't be considered an Eleven anything unless it's actually in 11/4 time. Anything else is just a tease at best.

EIGHT SIDED WHISPERING HALLELUJAH HAT RACK
SEVEN FACED MARBLE EYED TRANSITORY DREAM DOLLS
SIX PROUD WALKERS ON THE JINGLEBELL RAINBOW
FIVE MEN WRITING WITH FINGERS OF GOLD

-Anonymous (09/14/2022)


This is one of those shows whose setlist might appear "ordinary," but whose execution is on fire. And the tape (I did not attend) really works, years later. Funny that no one here mentions Jer busting out Big Boss Man, to the audience's surprise and pleasure. I hope it gets the full-Norman and release, sooner than later.
