This really nice early Candy Man. This one is after Truckin. The first two are sound checks, I think.

Uncle John's Band

Capitol Theater

This is one of the better acoustic versions of this song. The sound quality isn't the best but the performance is spot on.

Loser

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This is a tragically overlooked version. Bobby's guitar is loud and proud. Jerry's Strat playing was as clean and twangy as it got on this song.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

The forth live performance of these 2 songs put together. It starts out a little rough, then it evolves into a well paced and played China Rider.

Wharf Rat

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Phil is really making his presence known on this version. Jerry's solo is kind of by the numbers, but solid. Worth a listen, for sure.
The Other One
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Some nice guitar playing on this one. At one point in Jerry's solo, Bobby joins in with a lead harmony, then they transition into Stella, very nice.
Wharf Rat

Soldier Field

Grand and epic version. Not my favorite Wharf Rat, but very nicely executed.
The Other One
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

I agree completely. This is the Other One at a whole other level. What an intro, Jerry was getting some old school feed back, then it builds into a fast driving, late 80s style, psychedelic adventure. Brent is laying down some fast and tasty piano with synthesizer embelisments. This is a must listen for any The Other One afecianatos!
Days Between
June 18, 1994
Autzen Stadium

I applaud the effort, but Jerry just wasn't feeling this one. Having said that, this song always touches me, so I hung in there for the duration.
