Jerry and Phil kill this encore version

The Other One

Pauley Pavilion

An undiscovered 01? This one has huge, crazy peaks by Jerry at 4:25 and Jerry and Bobby at 8:05. Madness, fits and starts, like any great O1.

Curious this isn't on here yet. One of Jerry's best solos ever. Notes disappear into nothing, then the next one digs and bites. Remarkable feeling.

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

You know a great version of this tune by the first four or five notes of Jerry's solo and this doesn't disappoint. Phil supports beautifully.

Might be the first version where Jerry solos for three choruses. Good vibes.

What they start playing at minute 17 will make you stop doing what you're doing.
