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+

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'.

Great version from a very good overall show.
Playin' In The Band

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Depending on a number of variables, there may be versions as good, but there are certainly none better. I love this playing over the opening scenes of the film 'Sunshine Daydream'. Let's hope we get Veneta released a la 'Crimson White & Indigo'.

Phil!!! This and 7/31/74 are maybe THE two MONSTER Phil versions of this tune.

The more I hear this one the better it seems to get.

Hofheinz Pavilion

The song was just emerging from the primordial slime at this point and so it is not as pleasantly plump as it would be by, say, 1977, but Jerry really sounds like a sweet Georgia peach on that solo in between the Rio Grandee choruses.
