The Other One

Winterland Arena

If Picasso's 'Guernica' had a small cut in it it would still be a masterpiece. This TOO has a bad cut in the recording but is still a masterpiece. A+

Morning Dew

Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

This is heady but it's now believed to have occurred on 5-11-69 in San Diego.

Aztec Bowl, San Diego State U.

A highly edited but well-worth-your-time video of this kickass performance is now up on youtube.

Jerry's singing and electrified Keith make this one heady.

Plenty happening on this one to warrant a listen. Nice segue into 'Drums'.

Weather Report Suite
March 28, 1973
Civic Center

Ain't no suite, but sure as hell the maiden voyage of the signifier of what many must connote with it. Stands as the 'Prelude' to a DS that I've learned to love in a sequence that's as unique as they come, really.
Truckin'
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

Dick didn't pick his 'Truckin''s lightly. This and that from his Vol. 7 are both way better than the current votes show.

(Several posts of this needed to get to properly edited descriptor. iPad's fault, let's say.) This little version was listened to numerous times over the course of my still-ongoing little thing where I listen to only purchased Dead, trying to go in deep on some revisits.
Playin' In The Band
July 16, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Keeps getting better with each listen.
The Wheel

Orpheum Theatre

'The Wheel' is an oddly little elusive tune, but I've caught some nice glimpses of this one. Much of this show seems to nicely ripen with repeated listens.
