The Other One

Giants Stadium

Everyone goes on about the (awesome) "Dark Star" jam out of UJB but there's definitely a healthy dose of "The Other One" in there as well.

Last Godcheauxs version. Donna has a good time.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

From the HBO broadcast. Surprised it's not here. This is hot, especially on Brent's end.

Madison Square Garden

How? How is this not here? Dick's Picks 9. Out of a freakish post-SOTM jam. Bobby roars. Phil rolls thunder. Jerry is on fire.

Beautiful version with Jerry in his ragged latter day glory.

Truckin'
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Get the audience tape for this one and go to straight to "Truckin'." The sound is in your face and punchy and the crowd is absolutely wild. Bonkers "Truckin'." This whole show is fucking incredible.
The Weight
July 23, 1990
World Music Theatre

It's stuff like that verse being Brent's last vocal and Jerry's last lead vocal being "Black Muddy River" that make me believe in the Dead's cosmic synergy.
Foolish Heart
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

The last truly great Dead show. Jerry is focused, committed, alert, creative. This is a monster "Foolish Heart."
Terrapin Station

West High Auditorium

Love this version, very bright and relaxed with nice playing from Brent and a solid vocal from Jerry.
Samson and Delilah
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

EPIC VERSION ALERT! Bustles along brilliantly.
