The Other One

Freedom Hall

A kaleidoscopic Other One is the apex of a very well-played second set.

Winterland Arena

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Winterland Arena

Thunderous energy to complement the rest of this hard-rocking Winterland run.

Samson and Delilah

Capitol Theater

Not just a straightforward rocker. Keith adds an icy contrast to Jerry’s fire while the drummers up the tension.

Sparkling version. Worth your attention as you savor the perfect Oade AUD.

Box of Rain

Pacific Coliseum

Some stellar contributions from Keith here -- but I guess the same could be said for most '73 Dead.
Eyes Of The World

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

Mid-song jamming breaks are unusually long. Lovely and relaxed.

Just keeps going and going! Jerry tears this one up! Insane, really. And... it's back on Archive as of April 2015. :-)

Field House - Seneca College

Jerry just burns this sucker to the ground. Wowee zowee.
Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Lots more "Main Ten" jamming than most later versions would have. Gives this one a different, more understated feel than some of the pure delirium versions. That may be good or bad depending on your perspective, but this is certainly a great version.
