Wedged in a energetic psychdelic explosion,this Merle Haggard classic provides a contrast in mood and direction. Jerry's twanging it up!

Mystery Dew! I don't think this was played during this show. Listen on the Glassberg/Miller on the archive.

If you like this song. even a little bit, you have to listen to this version! For my money this is as good as this song gets!

A crisp, cooking Allligator that was somehow missed. It transitions into Drums, then a t 11, tease, jam then the 11.

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

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.

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!

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.
