Compact but intense. Vivid and hallucinatory.

Not on autopilot! Hear them having real fun with MAMU like it’s 1974.

Limber version with terrific energy.

Bruce pummels this one, repeating a hummable lick apparently unique to this version. It elicits a big finish from the whole band.

Concerted and intense in the last few minutes. A team effort.

Really creative playing from Brent and great energy all around.

Brent absolutely pounds the keys. Very spirited.

I already upvoted this, which shows it’s caught my attention before. Terrific Estimated from maybe its best year. Whatever Phil is doing at the end is very striking.

The second segment of TOO is what gets me. Briefly toys with a Dark Star swing. Everyone is fully melded and reading one another’s mind at 115 mph. I don’t like it quite as much as the 11/21 PITB triple-decker — heck, maybe not as much as the 11/20 or 11/23 TOOs — but that tells you how high the bar is, because this is incredible.
