Shut your eyes and listen to the colors of your mind. This song is a guilty pleasure for me, so I've checked out quite a few, and this one is hot.

Not really the best I've heard, but Phil drops some serious bombs throughout.

An exceptional performance from a one off show in summer '78.

The best performance of this song since 1972? Jerry belts out a sweet Candyman afterwards.

Keith steps in when Jerry's guitar channel literally dies. Very nice, Mr. Godchaux.

The Other One

Freedom Hall

Miles Davis-esque funky jam at around the 12:00 min mark. Love it.

Very good, but I don't see how this beats 5/7/1977.

Newcastle City Hall

This is a fully dosed version of "The Other One." It took three gels. "Feelin' Groovy Jim" is the icing on the cake, but check out the total meltdown jam that rages before it.

This one is IT for me.

This one bursts right out of the gate. Great energy, but not rushed in any way. Jerry playing Lightning Bolt and Phil in his zone. Fantastic performance.
