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 guitar solo, man!

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.

He's Gone
Dec. 19, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Well sung, beautiful buttery bass, and Keith manages to fill in the holes with exquisite understatement.
Mexicali Blues
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This is where things start to sparkle around the edges.
Big River
June 16, 1974
Iowa State Fairgrounds

Had always meant to comment on this one because of the transition out of Eyes. Gave it another listen recently and, amongst other merits, was struck by Keith doing this real nifty Vince Guaraldi-sounding stuff on his solo.
Dark Star
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Excellent intro portion. Post-verse is gongs and feedback. Listen to the crowd shushing each other--it's practically like a Keith Jarrett concert. Next comes a 'Main Ten Jam' (which would later get incorporated into PITB) and then a nice little jam before going into a hot 'Dancin'. This only circulates as an AUD and, as such, it very well could be one of the top ten most essential AUDs to have.
Morning Dew
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Add this to the list of essential Dews.
