If Picasso's 'Guernica' had a small cut in it it would still be a masterpiece. This TOO has a bad cut in the recording but is still a masterpiece. A+

This is heady but it's now believed to have occurred on 5-11-69 in San Diego.

A highly edited but well-worth-your-time video of this kickass performance is now up on youtube.

Jerry's singing and electrified Keith make this one heady.

Plenty happening on this one to warrant a listen. Nice segue into 'Drums'.

From a show that needs no introduction, this is one of the few versions of this song that I would be glad to listen to again.

Maybe the best thing off of that album.

Yeah, Jerry kept evolving. I have read somewhere (I'll try to source it) that this acoustic sound is something that Jerry had been striving to attain. If you like this sound, check out some of the China>Riders from this time.

Well, if we're calling that Feedback/HyperSpace part of 'The Other One', I agree--great stuff! It certainly impressed me more than anything else on DP 1 after my first listen.
