Glenns Falls Civic Center

Brent's First, the official revival of this song. Bobby forgets some end lyrics but just repeats the first verses to save face. Great Jerry jamming

The Other One
Dec. 13, 1992
Oakland Coliseum

Slithers out of space & into Dew. Not very intense but Jerry is on it 100%

Samson and Delilah

Knickerbocker Arena

One of the worst Samson intros ever; clunky start, band discombobulated, Bobby throwing out lyrics at the wrong pace. Settles down in the second half

Star Lake Amphitheater

Excellent Vinnie era rendition of this early Dead tune. Last one of '92 - these became exceedingly rare in this time period

Solid version despite a vocal mishap from Jerry
Not Fade Away
Sept. 18, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Real party vibes to this show - the boys were just having a great time, and it must've been even more fun in person
Truckin'

Universal Amphitheatre

Fiery outro into the O1. Solid vocals as well
The Other One
June 29, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Even with the tape flip around 10:55 this might be one of my favorite Other One's ever. The Phil Jam early on and the slipknot-ish jam closing out this O1 are just so awesome. Cannot recommend this highly enough and as a magnificent bonus this goes into a fantastic Morning Dew
