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 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.

Yes, indeed, a great one...however, JS is one of those tunes that can never have a definitive version as it was always well represented throughout all eras of the band since its inclusion in the repertoire. But, is this essential listening? Of course, it is.

Berkeley Community Theater

Man, back in those days Keith provided an absolute perfect economy of accompaniment.

The context for this one certainly couldn't be any better and it features beautiful, tasty playing with hardly a wasted note. Awesome stuff.

I'm surprised to see this one so low, too. Excellent China Cat here.

This version soars and melts down and soars again. 25 minutes of phenomenal stuff. And this show has more gems to offer.
