The Wheel

Paramount Theatre

It's so apt that The Wheel would roll into Truckin' that the outro is short but the rest is very nice.

Eyes Of The World

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Jerry really mines the changes on this one and pulls out plenty of little gold nuggets (like Coltrane). Good interplay, too. An inspired version.

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

A cheesy video of this kickass version would have Garcia playing atop a steam locomotive as it barrels down the track.

Incomplete, but what remains is top-notch and essential.

Some nice facets to the swank
Good Lovin'

Fillmore East

Not sure if Harpur gets as high, peakwise, as this one.
The Other One
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

Should of said somewhere that this one has no singing and is just enough of a jam on the main theme that it's called an Other One Jam>Spanish Jam on disc one of DP12. But after listening some more, it seems like it really might be a TOO>Spanish Jam>TOO sandwich. If some great Dark Stars (Miami '74, Dec. '71 Felt Forum, etc.) can go without singing, then so can this TOO. How many TOOs went without singing?
