An uncommonly rich version--Jerry and Bruce both make great use of their solos while Bob, Vince, and Phil add vibrant texture throughout.

Sung passionately, played precisely. Just exactly perfect version.

Riverfront Arena

Unusually professional sounding for a cover. This one is nice and tight with just the right amount of bounce.

In full command of the Wall’s sonic clarity, Jerry executes on some softer, more intricate lead parts. Lovely version.

Little Red Rooster

Civic Arena

The Brent-driven portion of the jam is downright smoldering. The rest of the band can't resist getting in on the action.

New Minglewood Blues
May 4, 1977
The Palladium

I love Keith's solo on this, it has more of that barroom piano feel that was common pre-hiatus than any other Minglewood I've ever heard.
Let It Grow

Riverfront Arena

Some really tricky, inventive leads from Jerry. There are more epic versions, to be sure, but this one has some unique spunk that makes it worth seeking out.

Academy of Music

These shows marginalized as warmup for Europe, but the main jam segment, including this Other One is every bit on the same plane as the Europe 72 second sets.

The jazz jam between Phil and Keith is not to be missed.
