This one has more of an Other One-ish feel than most...they seem like they're pushing for it but end up going in a completely different direction

Very graceful playing on this one, gets kind of spacey leading up to a smooth as butter transition into Dark Star.

Beautiful, mellow version. Garica's tone is especially sweet, with an almost country-ish flavor; sounds like he's using a bit of slide?

The extended jams after "stronger than dirt" have some of their best interplay ever

Coliseum Stadium

This Playin has an absolutely insane meltdown and the transition leading up to Wharf Rat is really sweet. Phil is outstanding as well...what a great version!
