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.

A beautiful piece of music from beginning to end

50 years ago today. Every moment of this incredible version is seared into my brain. What they play at 16:00 for exactly 1 minute kills me every time.

Speaking of outro jams, this one is worth a listen. Jerry full of ideas, Bobby pushing him along. You can skip right to it tho.

Red Rocks Ampitheatre

Long, quiet, melancholy version. Great Jerry/Keith interplay.

Agree with bike guy that this should be at least as high as the band was. Jerry's solo before SSDD is mindbending.
