The Other One
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Amazing Other One coming out of drums. No build-up, all energy. Garcia blasts off between the verses and takes it to the stratosphere.

Garcia makes up for his laryngitis with incredible guitar playing. They let Keith go off, you can hear him front and center throughout the whole song.

Dire Wolf

Swing Auditorium

Prob overlooked because of Jerry's failing vocals not as bouncy as some others but sweet enough to make you cry. He can't sing so his guitar does.

Jack Straw

Dean Smith Center

Great late dead Jack Straw. Bobby totally screws up the lines and Jerry saves his ass. If you watch the video you can tell that he's way into it.

If you watch the video on YouTube you can see Bobby showing Pete the chords.
Estimated Prophet
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

One of the best Estimated's I've ever heard. Jerry sounds incredible on his Mu-tron, he makes that guitar cry in ways that are unimaginable.
Franklin's Tower
Nov. 9, 1979
Memorial Auditorium

This whole tour had different sounding songs, this is the sound I think of when I hear the term "Disco Dead." One of the most unique Franklin's I've ever heard.
Mason's Children
Jan. 24, 1970
Honolulu Civic Auditorium

First heard this on the Workingman's Dead reissue. The boys get real dark in the instrumental break at the end. You won't be able to stop yourself from dancing.
