Relaxed and joyous space-age electric guitar semi-ballad.

Capitol Theater

Warp speed, precise, slightly unhinged, and driving into the greenish-blue evening.

Taft Auditorium

Godchaux leads a version that seethes with the excitement of a new song.

A giggly, slangy Garcia masterpiece (in sweet show sauce). Goes down EZ.

The Other One
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

This is the peak of an absolutely classic show. I listened to this running today and I don't ever remember running. This version would constitute showing off in lesser hands. Serious travelogue.

The Other One
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Absolutely ferocious Other One that travels all over town, drops in a perfect Me & My Uncle, and emerges into different territory altogether. An ELITE Other One. A this-is-why-the-GD-are-awesome Other One.

Boston Music Hall

The improv passages are so light-on-their-feet and twisty-tangled = a fucking ACE rendition of this lovely.

Baltimore Civic Center

A diggin'-in version - Garcia's Strat once again is a wonder. Band toils behind him in perfect modulating dynamic lock-step.
