Dire Wolf
March 29, 1991
Nassau Coliseum

First Dire Wolf of the Vince era - and the playing kills as always. Just a line is butchered but a great rendition of this campfire song regardless

The Other One
May 13, 1973
Iowa State Fairgrounds

Phil OWNS this one. The intro is stuck in my head - probably a top 5 Other One for 73-74
Aiko Aiko
June 20, 1987
Greek Theater

Ripping version, showcasing Jerry's comeback (especially vocally)
Dark Star
Feb. 21, 1969
Dream Bowl

Foolish Heart
Sept. 12, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Really excellent Foolish on Jerry's end, scorching guitar work. The two keyboards meld well on thus one
