Lyrically precise, energetic playing, and everyone sounds like they're enjoying themselves. What more could you ask for on this one?

The shorter versions need love to, and this one hits all the sweet spots.

The Other One
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

The Space jam on this one is genuinely engaging. The band are listening to one another and responding to make a very trippy soundscape that almost sounds like it could be scoring a strange old horror movie. The end destination of Eyes + the eventual reprise just make this one all the more remarkable.

Maybe not just exactly perfect, but the tone and mood Keith and Jerry lay down is too sublime to miss.'76 is the peak of their partnership.

Everyone is throwing down hard. After this, you just know the rest of the show is gonna be excellent.

Keith knew exactly what Jerry's solo needed to come to a proper conclusion and boy did he deliver the goods. Fantastic full group jam on this one. Not to be missed.

Jerry's main solo will immediately make your ears perk up. He's oozing creativity with a rare level of focus. It's fun to hear the rest of the band rise to his brilliance as the solo goes on. Top-shelf version
