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

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.

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.

Better than most and as good as any. Jerry is a veritable confetti-making machine with his young 'Tiger'.

Wow! This thing is definitely waaaaay underrated, neglected, whatever you want to call it, on these pages. Has a unique and cool buildup at the big swell and release portion and the outro jam, dubbed the 'Wood Green Jam' on DP 7 (which might just be the most underrated DP), might just be my personal favorite--it's one of those proto-trance-type jams but with a little bit of an Olde World flavor to it. Wood Green, London, indeed. Oh yeah, and hats off to DP for tracking jam segments.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

I'm really looking forward to spending some time with this version and show once I get my paws on this July '78 box. Just out of curiosity, where does this one stand next to the fine version from Dave's 15, Nashville?

Years into the existence of this website and I'm proud to be vote number two on this one.

Good for chasing the beer that chased the Jack Dandy.
