The Other One
Oct. 24, 1972
Performing Arts Center

An unusual ‘The Other One’>’He’s Gone’>’The Other One’ sandwich that pheatures a phantastic ‘Philo Stomp’ and excellent group interplay.

They Love Each Other
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

Features a beautiful solo from Jerry that doesn't falter despite its intricacy. You can hear the crowd roar its approval on the excellent SBD.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

Twangy on top and chubby below. Phil's mighty sonics in the second break of CCS could be dangerous--don't listen to this while ice fishing!

The guitar solo, man!

Mystery Train

Capitol Theater

The only known version the boys played and they nail it. Check the super smooth transition into the only known 'My Babe'. Only circulates in AUD.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center

A good Scarlet leads into a subdued-but-not-uninteresting segue that has hints of 'Dear Prudence', a little shuffle, and Jerry briefly on slide. The Fire is a good one, largely due to Jerry's inspired solos--especially the outro one.
Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

Jerry's playing on this one is as juicy and pretty as an apple tree heavy with fruit.
Dark Star
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

Underrated. Excellent intro followed by a nice abstract portion that is perfect for watching the wind in the trees. Then you get a nice early 'Feelin' Groovy' jam that actually sounds something like its source of inspiration. You are then treated to more, plenty more, melodicism. This version makes up part of the cream of the pre-Keith renditions.
Mason's Children
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

Smooth as flaxshit segue out of St. Stephen.
New Minglewood Blues
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

I love the raw, rough sound that the boys could get in '78. This is another very strong NMB.
