A sweet and mellow version with some lovely Jerry fills throughout. Marty Robbins would be proud.

Tight, high-energy, and a blast of a rollicking-good-time cowboy tune. Just exactly what Mexicali Blues should be.

Only the third performance. The groovy rhythm of the early versions lets Brent's piano REALLY flourish here. Tighter than most other '82 versions.

Played a little slower than usual, but not missing an ounce of passion. Keith and Donna sound great during the outro.

Strummin' to the rhythm that the DRUMMERS made. They're pounding their kits while the rest of the band rages behind them. Keith sounds great too.

Man...I think that's just a bit of an overreaction there. I mean, isn't the whole point of the GD's music (and music in general, really) to bring us together - not divide us? ................. Speaking of, I have a fondness for this one, as well as Cornell in general. See, my mom's not a Head by any stretch of the imagination, but she does enjoy their music and it never fails to make her happy. I'll tell ya...driving through the desert mesas of Arizona at sunset, my mom singing along to Fire on the Mountain from this very show, the whole world orange and pink and aglow with the light of the cosmos...that's a moment I wouldn't trade for anything. If that makes me, or her, just a dumb American for enjoying this version...well, I'll gladly take it.

I can't say enough good things about this early one. Different lyrics, a slightly different vibe from later versions, but my GOD is it a spicy performance. Aggressive, manic, and Garcia's tone is as heavy as it ever got. This is how The Other One should be played - pure volume and energy all the way through.

Nice and aggressive - great version coming hot on the heels of a good rendition of The Wheel.

That’s a great way of putting it! I’ve always thought they totally nailed this song when playing it, but could never put my finger on why it was so good. The way you describe it, the magic might just be in the solo! At the very least, that’s what makes this particular version stand out.

"They don't trust me," remarks Bobby after a goofy on-stage discussion about how many bars the jam has. And yet, it's a HOT version with a great jam.
