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 guitar solo, man!

Mystery Train

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.

This things just smokes. Also, Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 1 would probably have been helped by including some of the absolutely blistering first set performances that occurred during this incredible run at the MSG.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Madison Square Garden

The only thing wrong with this version is that Jerry's voice (which is in fine form throughout this show) is initially distant sounding, a problem on both the board and AUD tapes I've heard (but don't let that deter you from listening, as some great stuff happens here). Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 1 would probably have been helped by including some of the absolutely blistering first set performances that occurred during this incredible run at the MSG.

Yup, this one gets stretched out and stuffed with some jam. Tasty stuff.

This one's got that Rastaman bounce and features great solos from both Brent and Garcia. While this show is not without some clunkers, it's still got some all-time gems, especially the 'Morning Dew' and the 'Cumberland Blues'; I have also always had a fondness for the Eyes from this one, too. I had previously posted the Estimated from this show but I later removed it, as it is good but maybe not 'Heady' good--I don't know, I gotta go back and listen. Check it out for yourself.

I agree--Brent's stuff is cool on this one and Jerry's singing and playing are both on fine display throughout this show, including on this number right here.
