Jerry and Phil kill this encore version

The Other One

Pauley Pavilion

An undiscovered 01? This one has huge, crazy peaks by Jerry at 4:25 and Jerry and Bobby at 8:05. Madness, fits and starts, like any great O1.

Curious this isn't on here yet. One of Jerry's best solos ever. Notes disappear into nothing, then the next one digs and bites. Remarkable feeling.

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

You know a great version of this tune by the first four or five notes of Jerry's solo and this doesn't disappoint. Phil supports beautifully.

The intro has a Dark Star vibe. Great version.

Fantastic, raucous version. Great solo. Great slide playing by Bobby (you heard me right).

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Heavy, intense version. Listen to Phil as well as Jerry in the jam.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Jerry gives it all in the solo. Had to listen to it twice. Even the parts that don't sound good sound great when you listen again.

Uptown Theater

Weird raggedy version with some amazing Jerry moments. Also love the guy who yells when Phil comes in on the intro.
