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

He's Gone
Dec. 15, 1972
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

Winterland Arena

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

Easy To Love You
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

It's so cheesy to love you... This song is 80s yacht rock. Well played for what it is, but the song itself is flat out bad. Feels like a wasted spot on an otherwise rock solid Spring '90 release

Copps Coliseum

Silky silky, crazy crazy tight. Thickness

Knickerbocker Arena

Un-fuck-wittable. Finally pulled the trigger on Spring '90 vinyl and this specimen of beauty shines BRIGHT. My favorite.

Nassau Coliseum

Agree with comments above. This one is melodic and savory, with Brent nailing some great runs in the end segment
Midnight Hour
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Slinky, relaxed version. Not a hint of urgency. Great interplay with Lesh/Jerry/Bob and a solid mini-peak, led by Phil in the middle, pre Bobby hand clap rap.
