Never thought I'd dig this song so much. They're just so on this whole night (week actually).

Embryonic "Fire" in the "soundcheck jam" into Wharf Rat. Not a full FTM, but of amazing Deadfulness and not listed elsewhere. Check it out!

The Other One
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Not your old granny's The Other One - unless of course your old granny was that hot lady with the clean sunshine hanging out with the tapers.... Seriously though this is hot psychedelia that goes through all the phases, but doesn't have the hard metal edge of some from the era. Far far out, but never pushes you over the edge. A great show of their control and chaos, followed by a sublime Brokedown.

They're breathing as one, and this has some gorgeous, subtle interplay. Just perfect.

A few moments about a minute before they change time signatures into 6/8 for the TOO shift and it sounds almost like a Nobody's Fault But Mine jam - not quite, but just enough of Phil/Jerry interplay to suggest it was in the air.

No question, this one has a little extra chili pepper in it.
