An explosive reading of the tune. Maybe Billy had an inkling beforehand and just wanted to be sure ya'll knew it was still a cowboy number.

A very nice 'lush' version nominated in the ongoing attempt to evaluate all of Dick's picks.

Proud and upstanding part of a great sequence. Phil is at the top of his game in one of his greatest of bass-playing years.

The Other One

County Coliseum

This is most notable, I'd say, for the absolutely nuclear bomb that Phil drops during the 'Space' portion. Play it loud on a big rig!

Listen to the crowd go wild on the SBD after Jerry's solo.

Thanks to nickj from http://transitiveaxis.forumup.us/forum-14-transitiveaxis.html for inspiring me to go back to this show and give this TLEO a listen.

Indeed, lots of 'The Other One' teases/hints but it was not to be, as they go into 'GDTRFB', instead. Phil goes nuts towards the end of this one.

A nice, energetic version.

Jerry's first lead is fluid and satisfying. After the second verse check out how Phil falls in, like big, shiny bubbles in water. And Phil solos right alongside Jerry here, as well. The outro material is well-played.
