The Other One
May 10, 1972
Concertgebouw

This is probably the best music ever played anywhere on planet Earth. Pigpen joins right in the thick of the most hairy section, putting the lie to the claim he couldn't jam. Ernie, you don't like Bobby McGee? That always has an incredible solo....

A little sleepy at times, but not half bad

Yes this is great, although Weir in this era of the song makes some unfortunate noises
He's Gone

Strand Lyceum

It's developing--slower now, and there's the bridge in it at this point. This number takes a quantum leap on September 9th, which ushers in a golden age up to the hiatus....there's a nice little mini-jam at the end here, though, so this is not chopped liver

This song always sounded kind of like a mess to me, partly because Weir never really committed to the lyrics. I guess I hear what they're trying to do with this one, though, and it's cool.
