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!

Huntington Civic Center

The guitar solo, man!

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.

Jack Straw

Nassau Coliseum

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.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 21, 1972
Berkeley Community Theater

Man, back in those days Keith provided an absolute perfect economy of accompaniment.
Uncle John's Band
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

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.
The Other One
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

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