Hi David,

I wanted to offer the idea that perhaps there *is* unity in The Eleven. Hunter's counting starts at 8, not 11, but it could be thought of like this:

8 7 6 | 5 4 3

or

8 7 6 3 4 5

where the sums of the columns each equal 11. Like bookends. Or, as Hunter alludes "Now is the time of returning". Returning to 3, the closure for 8, if you will. [Read entire topic]

I like how Weir altered the lyric, specifically in the version thats on the "Strange Remain" Other Ones live album. I think the altered version really showed that "the Eleven" is a wonderful song on its own and not just a transition, as Garcia so humbly called it interviews when asked why they stopped playing it.

Always a good question! Almost impossible to get it answered, except by chance luck. I'd say it's extremely likely that they had the jam, and Hunter came up with the words. But who knows? [Read entire topic]

from my old studies of Schubert Leider, I must know this, as it will be essential to analysing the song: What came first? the riff in 11: 3-3-3-2, or the words?

Didn't the guys have a jam in 11, and Hunter came up with words later? [Read entire topic]
