Capitol Theater

20 min. Pig rap-fest; Heavy and fast barnburner, thunderous drums, and nimble bass

The Other One

Capitol Theater

Three from the Vault version; Tumbling, fiery, madness, Garcia lights this one up; The bus stopped by at the Capitol Theater, did you get on?

Glens Falls Civic Center

Melodic and creative soloing throughout; the transition (">") is absolutely on fire, musical communication between instruments is on point

They Love Each Other

Dane County Coliseum

Freedom, check out 5/1/81. It's one of the best shows of 1981 and the entire Brent era.

Greek Theater - University of California

Cgarces, I agree this is a great song, and this version is especially good. I love when Garcia pulls a twist and adds a little JGB to the Grateful Dead sets.

Salt Palace

Emotive, and my favorite live version. Obviously, however, studio cant be beat.
