Sometimes you know a tune will be heady on the first note. The crowd seems to know it too. Killer solo.

Uptown Theatre
Ass-kicking version, beautifully sung. Notable in that every note of Bobby's slide playing is exactly in tune.

Always looking for the great middle jams in this tune. This one is long, meandering, dreamy

The Other One

Pauley Pavilion
An undiscovered 01? This one has huge, crazy peaks by Jerry at 4:25 and Jerry and Bobby at 8:05. Madness, fits and starts, like any great O1.

I recommend this mix for Phil: https://archive.org/details/gd79-04-22.sbd.bennett.12001.sbeok.shnf/gd79-04-22d3t04.shn

Phil and Jerry are really feeling it on Brent's first tune. You know it's going to be alright when you hear the first note Phil plays.

Leave it to the Dead to play one of the best ever versions of a tune after not playing it for years and before playing it about 10,000 more times.

This coda made me lose control of the car. And I wasn't even driving. Needs votes.

Market Square Arena
Best Other One of this era. Phil is out of his mind. Listen to him in the intro.
