One More Saturday Night
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena
Fierce yet loose. Lots of fun is being had and it's infectious.

A little extra mustard on this one.

Me and Bobby McGee
Nov. 9, 1973
Winterland Arena
Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Memorial Coliseum
Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Boston Garden
Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

Deal
May 3, 1977
The Palladium
Really nice version. Jerry's solos are full of ideas, each executed capably, and the band seems to find a current of energy largely missing from the set up to this point.
The Other One
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum
This is no perfunctory post-Space Other One. What it lacks in length it more than makes up for in intensity and focus. No one is phoning it in — Jerry is absolutely shredding, Bob is providing challenging accompaniment, the Devils are bouncing, and Brent is sprinkling creative runs all over the top. Maybe the best of the year?
Mexicali Blues
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium
Bill really is on fire, but so is Jerry. Clean, precise leads with interesting fills throughout. Pretty top-shelf version of what's usually a filler song.
Loser
May 25, 1977
The Mosque
Yeah, the opening solo just feels botched. I love what Phil is up to though. Shame it doesn't all come together.
Caution
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall
Multiple heady passages, including a super bluesy Other One jam early on. Top shelf version.
