There's an Eleven tease in the middle of the Other One tease at the end of this Space.

Huge version. Weird that it's not on here. Jerry is brilliant from the first note of the intro. Listen to him starting at 9:05. Brent great too.

Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

The false start on the fourth chorus of the solo is a thing Jerry does that I love so much

If you like your Altheas angry, bitter, and cutting, as opposed to mellow, this is the one for you. I love them all and this one is amazing. Surprised it's not higher.

Burning version. Jerry's last solo is fantastic. Listen to the crowd lose their minds when he goes full Chuck Berry in his last chorus.

Jerry tries some very unique approaches during the solos and builds up lots of drama

The way Jerry slowly turns up the heat in the last solo is amazing. You don't know what's happening until it's over.
