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!

Mystery Train

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.

The last is second-best: 6/24/70 first, and then this, as the two 'Tighten' Up's that bear the most/biggest/best fruit out of all those lovely 'Tighten' Up's, methinks.
Truckin'
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Top shelf 'Truckin'' from '73.
Dancin' in the Streets
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Goes in directions those of '77 don't, and does so quite nicely.
Cold Rain and Snow
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

Big time stuff.

On what was tied for my earliest tape well before LAGTGD ever was a thing. This one gets me going Pavlonian, in some psychedelic sense. Get what Carrion is saying, and so I think of this along with Shrine '68 and Thelma '69 as three of the highwaters from certain respective eras of this tune.
