After a rather flat 1st set, the boys seems ot make up for it with a thundering Other One out of Drums. Phil is ever present dropping some choice bombs. The show finally takes of from here.

Estimated Prophet

Love Keith's organ here, it gives it a nasty dirty edge to it. I usually grade an Estimated on the "jam" part, and even though its relatively short in this instance, the outro jam is monsterous. Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

This one was stuck in my car's tape deck for quite a long time. It's easily one of my favorites by far. Check out the trippy echo effect on Jerry's vocals throughout the song.

This one comes right out of Space and it never lets up. Lots of twists and turns through a very trippy landscape. Buckle up and let it rip.
