Great playing by Bobby, Jerry and Brent in the jam

Jerry sounds tired and pained here, which of course is perfect. For some reason he usually doesn't nail the solo in this tune but he does here.

St. Paul Civic Center

There's an Eleven tease in the middle of the Other One tease at the end of this Space.

Franklin's Tower

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Huge version. Weird that it's not on here. Jerry is brilliant from the first note of the intro. Listen to him starting at 9:05. Brent great too.

Jerry's solo is phenomenal.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Phil is doing something very far out on this, especially during Jerry's solo. Needs to be heard.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 28, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Bobby's playing and sound in the transition are great. Amusing that he goes into Jerry's "I wish I was..." verse. Jerry's chordal solo at the end is fantastic.
Shakedown Street

New Haven Coliseum

You have the feeling this is a monster version from the first downbeat and you're not wrong.
The Other One
Aug. 13, 1979
McNichols Arena

Very dense and dynamic. Great transition out of He's Gone
Shakedown Street

McNichols Arena

Phil is great as the comments say but Jerry is the one who is really feeling it in the jam.
