The Other One

Giants Stadium

Everyone goes on about the (awesome) "Dark Star" jam out of UJB but there's definitely a healthy dose of "The Other One" in there as well.

Last Godcheauxs version. Donna has a good time.

From the HBO broadcast. Surprised it's not here. This is hot, especially on Brent's end.

How? How is this not here? Dick's Picks 9. Out of a freakish post-SOTM jam. Bobby roars. Phil rolls thunder. Jerry is on fire.

Jerry and Bob have some fantastic interplay throughout this one.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Seriously, this needs to be WAAAAAAAY higher. They play this song like their welcoming back a long lost friend. Keith is more alive here than he is in any other part of the show. Jerry's solo is the definition of torched and his fills are to die for. As good as many 1972-74 versions.

Serenity.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

One of those where you really can't find another one like it. This one's a real trip.

Carousel Ballroom

This early version reminds me of the Doors; Jerry even sounds like he's darkening his tone a bit to mirror Morrison a little. Really cool version.
