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!

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!

Let Me Sing Your Blues Away
Sept. 8, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Great version! Gonna be on Dave’s Picks 38; the first live version officially released?
Dark Star
Nov. 15, 1971
The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This version is exceptional! The first part before El Paso is nicely played and jammed out, and the seamless transition into El Paso is something only the Dead could do! The El Paso is very good; one of my favorites of Bobby’s “cowboy songs.” The Dark Star jam after it scared me the first time I listened to it, which is a win in my books.
Eyes Of The World
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

This is probably my favorite Eyes. The opening notes with Garcia’s lush tone, Phil’s bass, and Billy’s drums always get me. It’s nice and long and jammed out. Great version!
Eyes Of The World
June 17, 1991
Giants Stadium

I remember when I was first getting into the Dead I would play this version a lot once I got into their live stuff. This version is really great. This, in my opinion, is one of my favorite eras because of Vince and Bruce. They both play so nicely, and the sound was very full. Overall, this is a very good Eyes. Glad they started playing it slower!
Cryptical Envelopment
June 16, 1985
Greek Theater

Bust-Outs are always fun(imho) and this Cryptical is great. Wish they jammed them out, but having it sandwiched with Drums>Space>The Other One from this era is nice.
