The Other One
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Even though it cuts out after 16mins, a really fine 1972 TOO. Worth 16 minutes of anyones time.

Providence Civic Center

Although only part of set 2 seems to exist, great show. Clean,good energy,starting to get that fall 73 jazziness.

Terrapin Station

Terrapin station album

I really do love the whole album. For the story that the Dead weren't good in the studio-what crap. Listening to the studio albums from Aoxomoxoa_> Terrapin what a list. most bands would be happy to have even 1 album as good.

People, please start from Samson and Delilah and run on through. It's all so good!
Ship of Fools

Fox Theatre

Ship of Fools doesn't really do it for me once Jerry's voice starts to go(hence Red Rocks 78 isn't worth the votes and Rich Stadium 1989 just upsets me. This night was like the good old days of 1974. Sweetly sung. spare but with feeling
Estimated Prophet
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Sorry but there are better Estimated s in May- 22/5/77;25/5/77;18/5/77 to name 3. i think that Barton Hall is overrated . Yes it's good but so are most of the May shows.

Memorial Coliseum

I think that it is a rarefied form of madness to try and work out even the best 10 versions of songs from this Spring Tour, but nevertheless, i think this version of Estimated has the most precise soloing and all around and around goodness. Up in the top 3 with Pembroke Pines and The Mosque.
