A mighty a primal drum section reminiscent of the early acid test days. Follows after a rare Cryptical and breaks through into The Other One.

Shocked that this hasn't been listed! Great energy with some decimating lines from Jerry and Bobby is screaming his big ol heart out. Great version.

Jerry and Bobby create a beautiful space before TOO. A conversation in strings. Billy and Mickey create primal, carnivorous music. Hunting music.

What a crown jewel Pretty Peggy O can be. A truly tender version that washes away all my worries. These 74 versions are quite special.

The Dead take the Parisians through a cowboys surrealist day dream. Check out how both Keith and Jerry are utterly locked into the music.

Happy 4th!
Dark Star

Strand Lyceum

Words cannot describe this incredibly abstract and time bending Dark Star. The jam between Keith, Billy, and Phil around the 18 minute mark is one of the best jams I’ve ever heard from the band. This piece of music is a swinging pendulum of deep space exploration and experimentation. Totally awesome.

Just puts you right in that space. Always been partial to 4/24/72 but this one got me as of late. Pure Grateful Dead.
The Other One
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Medieval and Mythical. Holy space is indeed the perfect way to describe this ascending jam. Just goes as high as it can possible go and reaches truly unbelievable heights. Takes you to the top of mountains and in an instant will shoot you straight into the center of the Earth’s core. Real musical freedom and voodoo magik jammimg near the end to transition into a lovely and reflective Eyes. Truly massive version.

Deep space Truckin’. The Other One creeps up with much intensity. Coming in at the speed of light, the jams are as fluid and dynamic as you can get.
