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!

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.

The Race Is On
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Things just barely don't get too thoughtful on this one. One of those familiarly pleasant times where the ethos of the cover tune and of the Dead interact logarithmically to produce the real deal; or, as some say, magic.
Cumberland Blues

Century II Convention Hall

Parrot, you are definitely right--and I've also been unable to ID it. Sort of a tip of the tongue (brain?) sort of thing.

Charlie Boges, you are ultimately 100% right. I am ashamed of my fuddy duddiness. Every other TLEO leaves me wishing this was the solo.
Playin' In The Band

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Another reason why '74 might represent the apotheosis of the Playin' jam.
El Paso

Wembley Empire Pool

Moonwalk-smooth transitions sandwiching the smell of leather and the sparkle of gold teeth. Great recording on 'Steppin' Out'.
