The Other One
Oct. 13, 1972
Small Club in North SF

Previous unheard recording of Phil bombing a small club in SF for around 8 minutes. More than worth a listen!

Very nice & fast version. Jerry’s solos are like butter

Rubin and Cherise
Nov. 3, 1978
Keystone Palo Alto

Nice funky R&C. Also happens to be the last JGB show w/ Keith & Donna. Love Jer’s vox(especially “I’ve been afraid and I don’t know why I do). Heady!

Pretty Peggy O
June 26, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

The first post-hiatus version, and it’s oh so sweet
They Love Each Other
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

The jam on this rides the line between TLEO and something completely unique. This is my new favorite version by far
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

From the Feelin’ Groovy jam onward, this version is top tier for sure. The China Cat however feels very choppy and awkward. Still a good version though
He's Gone
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

This one is extra great, especially the outro jam. One of the best I’ve heard
Shakedown Street
April 15, 1983
Community War Memorial Auditorium

This version is really good. Brent’s keyboards are high in the mix(especially at the beginning), and the solos are magical
