Funky version slathered in Fender Rhodes gets an incendiary Jerry solo.

Ominous dark synth lead-in to a great Other One.

Wow, everyone’s playing the hell out of this Sugaree! The band is clearly ON.

These long freaky Drumses from ’78 are really compelling. The band must have felt so too, since Drums>Space, uh, stuck around!

Jerry's solo is on point, really precise and eloquent.

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 Other One

San Diego International Sports Arena

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.
