You'll hear voices and see faces in this abstract assault which showcases exceptional group interplay. Bertrando's AUD is VG+.

I always thought that Summer '74 was the best period for this tune but this version is sick.

Thanks to nickj from http://transitiveaxis.forumup.us/forum-14-transitiveaxis.html for inspiring me to go back to this show and give this TLEO a listen.

Indeed, lots of 'The Other One' teases/hints but it was not to be, as they go into 'GDTRFB', instead. Phil goes nuts towards the end of this one.

A nice, energetic version.

Jerry's first lead is fluid and satisfying. After the second verse check out how Phil falls in, like big, shiny bubbles in water. And Phil solos right alongside Jerry here, as well. The outro material is well-played.
