The Other One
Oct. 24, 1972
Performing Arts Center

An unusual ‘The Other One’>’He’s Gone’>’The Other One’ sandwich that pheatures a phantastic ‘Philo Stomp’ and excellent group interplay.

They Love Each Other
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

Features a beautiful solo from Jerry that doesn't falter despite its intricacy. You can hear the crowd roar its approval on the excellent SBD.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

Twangy on top and chubby below. Phil's mighty sonics in the second break of CCS could be dangerous--don't listen to this while ice fishing!

The only known version the boys played and they nail it. Check the super smooth transition into the only known 'My Babe'. Only circulates in AUD.

Top-shelf '74 version.

Selland Arena

Okay, I now know that I must not have had the volume up loud enough before. Definitely some good stuff here but there are a number of other versions from '74 alone that warrant as much attention as this one (5/14, 8/4, and 8/5 all immediately come to mind). Anyway, I think I'll go listen to this one real loud again right now.

Palais Des Sports

On my CD this is over 30 minutes long. It starts with just Phil and Ned and then the others slowly come in somewhere around the 20 minute mark or so. Europe '74 had some good 'Seastones' (see 9/11/74 for the Daddy of 'em all).
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 1, 1979
Holleder Memorial Stadium

The centerpiece of a short but sweet show. Features a nice multifaceted dedication by Bobby just before they rip into Scarlet.
