The Other One

Winterland Arena

Want to know what it felt like to be Phil's axe, I mean like every single goddamned fiber of it? Strap on headphones and now you'll know.

Hot version with super-fast pickin'. Much fun.

Not Fade Away

Capping a brilliant show and hiding a nice Mountain Jam. This show doesn't get all the love it deserves.

Supercharged and hard rocking. Boys had some strong stuff in them this night.

Of course. Every April'71 is outta sight, and this one pumps diesel.

Bird Song
Oct. 30, 1972
Ford Auditorium

Unfortunate cut, probably just a tape flip, but an otherwise gorgeous, flying vintage '72 Bird Song that lifts of and soars.
Playin' In The Band

Cleveland Public Hall

Better without headphones. Mix problems are less obvious in an ambient environment. Sad about the cut, though: Jerry is carving wormholes through spacetime while Billy plays every sound in the forest and every wave in the ocean across infinite eons.
Box of Rain
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

Tighter than the 09th and 26th, and only the third one performed apart from the '70 show. Quite beautifully performed, even if Billy's drums are a bit high in the mix.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

...the Bertha Board, natch.
Nobody's Fault But Mine

Springfield Civic Center

A clear and strong statement of the NFBM melody, tighter and more deliberate than the 26th and 27th versions.
