Drums -> Space

Madison Square Garden

Bill and Mickey start chaotically but reel it back by 04:30 and get groovy. Space feels like exploring a classic Alien planet from an old serial.

Funky af drums coming out of a cosmic Dark Star and THEN into an Other One! Bliss!

Keiths first show. Saddens me that I had to be the one to add this. It's good!

Slower tempo than usual.
The Other One
May 12, 1974
University of Nevada

By far the highlight of the show. Bob flubs the lyrics a little, but this is a great example of a cosmic, spacey Other One, though I think 5/10/72 has a better one similar to this.

Its fine but what makes it special is the lead into a cosmic The Other One.

Love the energy in this one. Donna goes crazy and Bob shreds his vocal chords. One of my favourites. Should be higher!
Greatest Story Ever Told

Wembley Empire Pool

I know Veneta gets all the attention, but this one is THE definitive version imo.
