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!

Capitol Theater

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.

Maybe I'm just being a bit lazy of mind, but I don't think I've heard a version from '77 that tops this one.
Playin' In The Band
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

A worthwhile version from the post-hiatus Godchaux years (none of that pensive timidity in the jamming). If you like Keith's keys from the 4/23/77 'Slipknot' you may want to check this one out, and vice versa.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Great American Music Hall

Something a little too speckless about this one for me.

Boston Music Hall

Wow, the first 15 seconds of this one on the Sick Bits matrix is super heady in a feel-good way. Awesome stuff, awesome 'Star.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Each of the Estimateds from July '78 serve up a sweet outro jam.
