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.

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.

Unique and essential on the merits of the extended intro.

Great version, for sure.

I voted for this one because of the outro portion(s)--I love what Phil does here. Spring/Summer '74 Eyes really seem to showcase Phil.

Jerry's solo after the first verse is silky smooth and sweet. Nearing the end of the 'Stronger than Dirt' sequence (with just over two minutes left in the tune) Jerry has a beautiful burst of inspiration. It is well worth the sixteen minutes to check this one out. Incidentally, I believe this is the last show from their legendary Winter/Spring '73 tour and, as another reviewer on these pages states, their first at Boston Garden.

Great playing on this one--gets a little of that gooey '89/'90 thing going. Check it out!!!
