Thanks to George Prescott in Deadbase 50 for pointing this out. What a sublime solo, despite average sound quality.

A lush slow-build16-minute intro to The Other One that builds the tension to an almost unbearable degree.

Storming opener from a strong '86 show that leads into a sweet Peggy-O.

The Other One
June 16, 1985
Greek Theater

Coming out of the the first (semi-successful) Cryptical since '72 this TOO comes blasting out the gates and never relents. Pure fire.
Mexicali Blues
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Then why add it to a site that is supposed to be for the BEST versions of songs?
Terrapin Station
April 30, 1977
The Palladium

Just exactly perfect.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 27, 1986
Cumberland County Civic Center

An absolute stonker. The transition is fantastic.
Shakedown Street
June 1, 1991
Los Angeles Coliseum

This surely deserves more love. Attitude abounds.
