Expertly rendered. Bobby provides terrific atmospheric coloration. Jerry just rocks out through the whole thing.

Zippy, choogling BIODTL with a great groove.

More than usually haunted Space raves and knocks around before cooling a funky, colorful Other One intro.

The playing is perfect fairground calliope blues. You won’t care about the fudged lyrics or scratchy singing.

Powerful ending with Phil thumping away high on the fretboard. > Drums.

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.
