The Other One
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

One of my favorite shows ever - both the performance and the stunning recording. Invention in every second of this Other One. Like everything from this show, underpants drawer! This is what the 2-drummer model was supposed to sound like!
Estimated Prophet
April 22, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Dave & I: "Spot on!"
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Maybe not as well known as 9/7, but it does zip! Crisp & high-level group interaction. Garcia-Weir-Godchaux weave in and out of each other's wake turbulence like its nothing. A great & undervalued Eyes.
They Love Each Other
Feb. 26, 1973
Pershing Municipal Auditorium

Fast version every single day - although the bridge is always superfluous & clunky. And this one sails!
Beat it on Down The Line
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Just jammed this on my way to work and it cut the commute time in half!
