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.

Woops! Sorry, CC--I meant to say 12/15/72.

I haven't listened to it in a while but, if I remember right, 12/10/72 Long Beach has also got a long red carpet rolled out for DS.

I should also say that there is no IKYR here, as is sometimes erroneously listed.

Apparently, they also played TIFTOO and Dancin' in the Streets (among, obviously, others) at this long show. And by most accounts they blew the lid off the place. The boys sure did have a thing for Wisconsin! Check out these links...

Dancin' in the Streets

Kresge Plaza - MIT

And that pocket sure is deep! I always loved Bobby urging everyone to get up and shake it as Jerry comes in with authority for the big jam. Also, the way they play the 'Tighten' Up' jam in this one is, as I remember (been a few moons since I heard this one), quite different than say, 6/24/70 or 10/31/71--less ecstatic and more angular? Great stuff!
