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 Other One

Salt Palace

I can live with this being the most highly-rated of '73.
The Other One

Denver Coliseum

Still too low on the list, though I agree that 2/28 is probably the tops of '73-- a year which, incidentally, doesn't make me immediatelly think of TOO.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Market Square Arena

'Yes, please!', he said witha lipsa smackin' anda whackin'.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Grendel, I've always thought this one was spectacular and was just thinking of it yesterday and had planned to go dig out my CD copy. This one might just be better than the version featured on 'Go to Nassau' as well as many other '70s versions currently sitting above and suffocating it. Great call! This was also my brother's first Dead show.

I'll just stir the pot a little and say that I prefer the concision and piercing depth of Jerry's second solo on this one to the rangy verbosity of his solo on the 3/20/77 version, though both are sweet.
