Joyous and radiant. This song just brings on the love. High energy pulse throughout.

Jer sings harmony in parts while whipping out precise 16th-note passages at warp speed. Awesome.

Spring '73 is the fountain of youth for Eyes fans. This brilliant version has the first (?) Slipknot tease around 11:00. Great show all around.

The Other One
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Not your old granny's The Other One - unless of course your old granny was that hot lady with the clean sunshine hanging out with the tapers.... Seriously though this is hot psychedelia that goes through all the phases, but doesn't have the hard metal edge of some from the era. Far far out, but never pushes you over the edge. A great show of their control and chaos, followed by a sublime Brokedown.

They're breathing as one, and this has some gorgeous, subtle interplay. Just perfect.

A few moments about a minute before they change time signatures into 6/8 for the TOO shift and it sounds almost like a Nobody's Fault But Mine jam - not quite, but just enough of Phil/Jerry interplay to suggest it was in the air.

No question, this one has a little extra chili pepper in it.

Simply on fire. Brilliant.
