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.

New Minglewood Blues

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

I Need A Miracle

Madison Square Garden

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.

Beautiful version with Jerry in his ragged latter day glory.

Sugaree
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

That Jerry...how did he do it? The melodies and phrases he just seemed to pull out of the air. Ethereal "Sugaree," surging with drama and melancholy, from one of the best shows they ever played.
All New Minglewood Blues

Frost Amphitheatre

Jerry is unstoppable.
Truckin'
Sept. 20, 1991
Boston Garden

The long outro jam in this version is fantastic. Very rare for them to go the distance on "Truckin'" like they do here.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 20, 1982
Madison Square Garden

This one deserves attention. The transition is outstanding. Explorative and melodic.
Friend of the Devil
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

As good a version as they've ever played of the slow arrangement. Jerry's playing is soulful, soothing and articulate. One of the highlights at the last truly great Dead show.
