Thanks to George Prescott in Deadbase 50 for pointing this out. What a sublime solo, despite average sound quality.

Great Jerry/Brent vocals and some really nice organ playing.

A lush slow-build16-minute intro to The Other One that builds the tension to an almost unbearable degree.

Storming opener from a strong '86 show that leads into a sweet Peggy-O.

This just brought me to tears. The vocal is especially moving.

Just terrific. Phil really shines. One of the very best of the very many I've heard.

Thanks for the heads up. Keith's having a lot of fun on this, isn't he?

The vocal is really delicate at times and deeply soulful, but getting the first line wrong stops it from being a perfect one. And there are one or two 'ouch, who did that?' notes played by someone here and there. Maybe I'm being too picky, though. It definitely deserves more love on the strength of the singing alone.
