As far as these pre-August 74 versions go, pretty darn good; certainly far better than Veneta

Not the all-time best but surely deserves to be on the list

The Other One
Aug. 22, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

I'm calling it--this is the greatest Other One EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible!!!! Wild meltdowns, raging theme jams, and lots in between! Plus a very short sort-of Feelin' Groovy jam!

Have to disagree with ph above—I love it when they go in two directions at once. See 1973-10-29, where it’s Keith weirding out and Garcia trying to be the normal one….

Magnificent!

Nice bit at the end, too

This is superb, and believe it or not it's the highlight of pre-drums! Jerry is on, and there's a space jam at the end!
