The Other One

Freedom Hall

A kaleidoscopic Other One is the apex of a very well-played second set.

Winterland Arena

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Winterland Arena

Thunderous energy to complement the rest of this hard-rocking Winterland run.

Samson and Delilah

Capitol Theater

Not just a straightforward rocker. Keith adds an icy contrast to Jerry’s fire while the drummers up the tension.

Sparkling version. Worth your attention as you savor the perfect Oade AUD.

Check out the Jerry/Keith call-and-response action in Slipknot! Hot damn!!

I'd say Keith is the real star here. He just goes bonkers on this thing.

Yup, both the intro jam from Space and the outro jam, which is essentially a bonus Playin' jam, are fire. One of my absolute favorites.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

I'm going to echo the "this one of the tightest versions ever." Sublimity is subjective, but this is objectively very well played. Musicians' Dead.

By Sept. '76 this song is really stretching out and realizing its potential. Compares pretty favorably to the '77s: a little sweeter and more delicate, less sweeping and grand.
