One of the best stand-alone versions IMO, this one gets quite extended for such an early version, with a jam that flows and peaks.

Providence Civic Center

Ok so it's no 6/28/74, but this one holds its own. Real nice playing that gets pretty deep into that freaky-jazzy stuff they do oh so well

Excellent version. Garcia's playing is sharp and jazzy, and Phil is laying into it with some nice bombs. Smooth segue into a great Other One jam

Jazzy Other One with a really nice segue out of Spanish jam.

Love how they eff up at the beginning; check out the neat little jam they do before Weir apologizes.
