Taft Auditorium, Cincinnati - Oct 30, 1971
an apparently small venue, so crowd voices echo around the hall. it's keith's first show (?). phil introduces him after Loser. It's also being broadcast on radio, making all the banter a little funnier...
Jerry starts getting annoyed at the crowd after Playin'
"Alright, alright... You don't have to scream at us."
Introducing Ramble on Rose, Jerry says, "This is one we laughingly call Rambling Rose," followed by a "Ha ha ha ha" from Bob. Then the sh!t hits the fan.
A, shall we assume chemically-altered, fan is audibly screaming, 'Play Truckin'' over and over. "Why won't you play it?' he asks.
"We don't know it," someone says. After which Jerry says, "Eat it. Eat it man, eat it."
He doesn't stop, prompting this from Jerry:
"Come on man, come on man. You gotta be cop? Is that it? 'Play Truckin'. Play Truckin''... We'll play whatever we like."
[Applause]
Jerry continues: "'Course, that's not saying you won't like it. You might like it too. It might be alright. It might be something perfectly o-kay."
"What about all those people that may not like Truckin'?" Jerry continues.
[Pause]
"Well, how 'bout it man?"
Then, from the audience (or the band maybe): Why don't YOU play Truckin'?"
Then Phil injects some needed levity: "We realize we're wasting valuable time folks, but it's really okay, in the long run."
Then a classic Bobby moment... "You folks sitting right up there in the lip of the balcony [stutters] might want to watch out, cause any minute now they're going to be dropping a whole load of live chickens on you."
Sugar Mag ensues. After which the 'Truckin' calls continue.
Phil: "Alright this one's for you. This is the one you've been waiting to hear."
[crowd]
Jerry: "Yeah, we know man. We know. We hear you."
Bob: "We're gonna pause for about 3 or 4 seconds and scratch our asses and think it over."
[sounds of scratching on strings]
Then.. a blistering Truckin!!

Prior to the bare wires version of H2H, Pig almost starts a riot by suggesting the crowd move closer.
But even after one of the towers at this blistering hot speedway gig comes down, some dudes are still climbing, forcing an abrupt halt to what will turn out to be the most incendiary Mason's Children the Dead ever played!
With time constraints, Jer just wants to play, but Pig has other ideas...

"Yawp, yawp, yup, yup..." as if his monitor died
then as the track shifts to the opening of El Paso he states
"These monitors don't work for shit - I'm here to tell ya."
Not in and of itself memorable, I just happened to be listening to 11/6/71 as I was reading the thread...........

Phil: Hey it's ringing at two-hundred fifty cycles Bear, and it's also ringing at about two-thousand cycles. You got that?
Jerry, (to Bear) "Don't mutter man, don't mutter."
Phil (to Bear) I can't hear you, what are you saying?"
Bear: "Well, I've got a vague whatever."
Jerry (to the audience) That's it! "A vague whatever! Did you hear that?"
Bobby: "How can ya hate a guy like that?"

It seems like Phil was always pissed off and often very vocal about it in 1971-72

Right before Samson...paraphrasing here but this is the gist:
Bob: "Mickey wants me to inform y'all...I don't really understand it...but he says, the first rule,...the first law of rock and roll is 'drummers do not make house calls.'...(pause from confused audience)....I don't get it, either."
