A Homo erectus-like version but notable for Jerry's solo after the first Rio Grandee chorus.

Awesome early version. Jerry has a great solo at the end.

Jerry impassioned yet subdued singing in that ragged and worn voice is deeply affecting.

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.
