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.

Jerry does something special in the middle of this. Worth a listen and laugh.

From the word "combine" you can tell this is one of those priceless, emotional late-era Jerry vocals. Listen and vote.
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Possibly Phil's best vocal performance of all time.

Greek Theater

For some reason Phil loses his fucking mind and decides to completely go for it on this version. Wild. Check out the SBD matrix.

Meadowlands Arena

Burning. Emphatic. Mickey, Phil and Jerry lead the charge.
