Cryptical Envelopment

Capitol Theater

A well delivered Cryptical opening a psyhadelic flood gate for a very strong single kit drums and an adventurious Other One.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 20, 1971
Capitol Theater

This is an early stripped down version. There's no extended jam, or Donna screaming, just the basic song, deliverd well!

Not Fade Away
Feb. 20, 1971
Capitol Theater

Single kit opening, Phil comes in changing the bass line then transitions into a tasty, energetic Not Fade Away on a Goin Down the Road sandwich.

Truckin'
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

First song of the first show of Micky's hiatus from the band. Billy more then makes up for his absense, providing a hard, rolicking, steady beat.

Wharf Rat
Oct. 10, 1976
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

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.
