A solid workout with a well-rendered buildup and a yelping SSDD

Amazed at how these early versions are so well established, moving along confidently yet dreamily; then some unique post-lyric explorations.

A real pressure cooker here – gotta share that kind nod for this ’83 energy.

The Other One
April 1, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

Okay then, I will begin. Had the pleasure of being there. Ho-hum, you say? Achooo! The preceding space is intense, building to a frenzy, at which point the Other One rises from the floor onstage like a fiery geyser, Bobby having helped coaxed its birth by circling around the epicenter. Cool to be behind the stage sometimes. Warpy effects return between the verses. Very well executed. As a whole show, this one is strong throughout -- lots of highlights, check out the "inside-out" Deal: unique. So fortunate to have experienced this ho-hummage. Road Trips indeed;)
