Hurts Me Too
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Pig comes alive during this song as well as this entire show, and Jerry respond's to his energy level, as does the whole band. I love this show!

It's nearing the end of 71, Keith is on on board now; their tight and energetic, 72 here they come!

Pigs vocals and harmonica are at a high and energetic level on this version. Jerry's guitar playing is a must listen, really!

This is a high energy and very well played version of this song. Bobby is in very good form here.

Good St. Stephen, sanwiched between D.S and The Eleven. Classic Pyhicedelia in the heart of Utah!

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

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!

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.
