The Other One

Winterland Arena

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+

Morning Dew

Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

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

Aztec Bowl, San Diego State U.

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'.

Estimated Prophet

The Mosque

This is a nice version, and in that way it is virtually indistinguishable from any other May '77 version.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 17, 1975
Winterland Arena

This Slipknot and Franklin's are fantastic. The Slipknot goes into territory that reminds me of the wonderful Playin' (7/16/76) off of the Dave's '16 bonus disc.
They Love Each Other
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Not my favorite post-hiatus Godchaux-era version, but it is damn good. It's also nice to see a version in the 'new' arrangement in first place, for once.
They Love Each Other
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

After 4/16/78 (and in spite of the 'missing' vocals in the first portion of that one), I might have to go with this one for post-hiatus Keith and Donna-era versions.
Dark Star
Aug. 1, 1973
Roosevelt Stadium

Way back when, Steve Howe used the 'whale' effect quite a bit, too; indeed, Jerry started using the effect at least as early as '69, maybe even as early as '68. It definitely appears a bit in '72 on Stars, etc. I'll try to post examples as I hear 'em.
