The Other One
Feb. 23, 1971
Capitol Theater

This simply needs more votes! Actually, it doesn't really "need" anything - got it fucking all.
Crazy Fingers
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Searching version. And they're singing it with some serious focus/energy. Can always do without the little Latinesque tango at the end - always strikes me as a little put on. But a great song and a band learning to inhabit it.
Cold Rain and Snow
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Love the Cold Rain opener. Open with this, you mean business.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 18, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

From the outside, Lesh: unleashed. And then everything lets loose - g-force intense.
