The Other One
Oct. 19, 1972
Fox Theatre

Two huge swells in this one. The first is a very funk jam led by Keith and Billy. The next involves a manic peak by Jerry. Worth checking out

Long Beach Arena

This jam is a patient wave of energy that hits a progressive peak, then dissipates as cautiously as it grew

Long Beach Arena

Jam starts fairly mellow, then Jerry vaults it into noodley hyperspace

Incredibly delicate version. Garcia very much in the forefront

Jerry calls for Keith to solo and he owns it. Great vocals by Jerry and Pig kills on backing organ

Digging this bouncy version. Excellent ramp up for the close

This version is everything. Jerry's licks leading into the jam portion are indelibly etched into my brain. I have no shame in double commenting - this one is one of the absolute tops and deserves dap.

Fillmore West

Show opening, near 12 min version. Raw, powerful and emotive. Love, love, love Jerry’s tone

For me, this one is the ONE. Such controlled manic swells, perfectly paced, everyone is nimbly riding an incredible wave of energy. Creativity paired with precision. UnREAL levels of greatness

Went back to my roots for Jerry week and this screamer has lost on steam or luster after all these years. Keith is an absolute MONSTER on the boards. Speed country rock at its absolute best
