They are just "on" this show. Killer Masterpiece. Great energy.

There's something about the aging in Jerry's voice that gives the song extra gravitas.

Real crisp version. Brent sounds like he's dropping pixie dust.

I remember being at this show and joking with my buddy about the that the song being played meant the band was dissolving. It still bugs me.

My favorite from the shows I saw with Vince. Cal Expo was rocking that night.

I was just listening to this one today. It keeps building towards the end with a really nice Phil lead jam before it just explodes. Great call!
The Other One

Fillmore West

20 minutes of Lovelight>20 Minutes of That's It For The Other One>20 Minutes of Dark Star>20 Minutes of St, Stephen & The Eleven! Are you freaking kidding me? After that hour and a half (approx.), if you still had the energy or the mind capacity left to move, you're a better man than I.

Nice aggressive version. Much faster than most of the one's you'll hear. The boys seem to be really enjoying themselves though. My favorite version.

Dream Bowl

This has to be the ultimate version. Jerry's voice coming in off the low volume start of the instruments. Amazing!

Alpine Valley

The ultimate version where Brent lets go and just takes over the song.
