The Other One
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

One the early tapes that made the rounds imprinting this already converted yet fledgling grateful head. The beast jumps out of a tree and stampedes through the forest at high-speed, branches snapping and chasing you so fast that you come up around and see it just up ahead. Time to get even rounder.

<< Good one. This one being no exception. Also has that moment where you sensed another go-round; see the 7/24/87 video for a fun comparison.
