The Other One
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

This is one of my favorites of '77. '76-'77 Other Ones are typically too mellow for my taste, but this one is en fuego!
The Other One
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Legendary.
Dark Star
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Incredible Dark Star! They must change direction a dozen times in the first half alone, all the while sounding beautifully fluid. The transition into MAMU is so perfect...they NAIL IT!!! Real nice weirdness in the second half as well that will be sure to get you nice and melty.
Truckin'
Sept. 18, 1974
Parc des Expositions

Sweet, groovy version with a MONSTER Caution Jam!
China Doll
June 20, 1974
The Omni

Probably the best China Doll. Jerry's fuzztone during the breaks gives an even more melancholy and forboding tone to the song than usual.
