The Other One
Oct. 19, 1972
Fox Theatre

Two huge swells in this one. The first is a very funk jam led by Keith and Billy. The next involves a manic peak by Jerry. Worth checking out

Long Beach Arena

This jam is a patient wave of energy that hits a progressive peak, then dissipates as cautiously as it grew

Long Beach Arena

Jam starts fairly mellow, then Jerry vaults it into noodley hyperspace

Jerry calls for Keith to solo and he owns it. Great vocals by Jerry and Pig kills on backing organ

I've been listening to this one a ton since the recent Dave's release. Such a beautiful, multi-thematic, exploratory version. And YES, the feeling > tighten jam is pure dead wizardry

^Totally agree with Top Binus above. Such a shame this track was confined to '69. I'm also consistently amazed at how much they pack into ~6 min. This one has a fantastic little groove at the end
