And Brent's double-hit whips that transition right around the corner.

Ethereal, patient, and aggressive. This one’s got that magical quality – delicate, lilting buildup in the first go-round; the simultaneous ascending-descending, cascading runs with the push over the big hill in the middle; and then the rolling boulders gaining speed and bursting into fanning once again – and has always been my favorite.

Around those verses is some of the best shit ever thrown down.

Right there with 9/3/ could say this is #1 of all time for me. Tempo on 10/29 is a tad slower, but suits the depth of that one. But the only way this is my favorite is because of the audience source. The DP just doesn't even come close.
