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!

Mystery Train

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.

Estimated Prophet
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

This is a nice version, and in that way it is virtually indistinguishable from any other May '77 version.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 17, 1975
Winterland Arena

This Slipknot and Franklin's are fantastic. The Slipknot goes into territory that reminds me of the wonderful Playin' (7/16/76) off of the Dave's '16 bonus disc.
They Love Each Other
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Not my favorite post-hiatus Godchaux-era version, but it is damn good. It's also nice to see a version in the 'new' arrangement in first place, for once.
They Love Each Other
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

After 4/16/78 (and in spite of the 'missing' vocals in the first portion of that one), I might have to go with this one for post-hiatus Keith and Donna-era versions.
Dark Star
Aug. 1, 1973
Roosevelt Stadium

Way back when, Steve Howe used the 'whale' effect quite a bit, too; indeed, Jerry started using the effect at least as early as '69, maybe even as early as '68. It definitely appears a bit in '72 on Stars, etc. I'll try to post examples as I hear 'em.
