Greatest Story Ever Told
Aug. 31, 1979
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
Dec. 6, 1992
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

Beat it on Down The Line

Star Lake Amphitheater

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

Cosmic cowboy, how do you do?
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Iowa State Fairgrounds

Billy drives this one throughout - great GDTRFB
Stella Blue
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

The outro jam makes me want to tear up...forever grateful (~):)
The Other One
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

From blazing hot to spacey wonder, this Other One packs it all. The Jerry spacey jam at the end leading into Stella is most enjoyable.
Dark Star
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Excellent Star with my favorite part being the jam after about 20 minutes in, veers into lots of fun territory and Phil's tone beginning to shape like how it would sound in '73
