Jerry using octave and delay pedals creating wonderfully glitchy textures, Phil and Brent playing nice support.

LLR around '89 can sometimes be a rushed, clunky mess. This is one of the exceptions- well-played, great solo. Out of a nice Foolish Heart.

Deal
May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

I'm also alarmed that a Deal this smokin' has only 8 votes- there's nothing that the Cornell version has that this one doesn't. Jerry's singing and soloing, the band's rhythm and dynamics, even the sound quality of the Betty Board- it's all as strong or stronger than Cornell.
Bird Song
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

Maybe it's just the mix, but to me the real star of this Bird Song is Phil. Keith in the left channel and Jerry in the right are doing gorgeous, awe-inspiring things, but loud in the center is that bass. Deep, heavy frequencies but a light, melodic touch.
Loose Lucy
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

Second-ever Loose Lucy rocks! This is also the only time this tune ever opened a show, which is a shame because here it’s a perfect opener.
The Other One
April 28, 1971
Fillmore East

An entire side of vinyl dedicated to this dynamic performance, and it sits sadly on page 5 for this song. If you've not listened to this one in a while, you might be surprised by it's unique sound; just Jerry Bob Phil and Billy, recorded between Primal-Dead and Jazz-Dead. Power and grace.
Playin' In The Band
May 13, 1973
Iowa State Fairgrounds

improved sound quality from the most recent boxset hopefully turns more people on to this one: https://youtu.be/D0qUfpB7wzo
