The Other One stands as the apotheosis of the entire show. The first Cryptical opens the suite with dark carnivalesque intensity before a short Drums segue to the heart of the matter, The Other One itself. Phil and the drummers pound us into the belly of the beast as Jerry plays slide, scorching the opening and raging forward to the first verse. There, Bobby pauses abruptly after delivering the first line, and in that pregnant half second, you can just picture everyone looking at each other smiling at what has just transpired. Then Jerry yells, Bobby hoots, and TC whirls the organ, setting them off again, “rainbow spirals round and round, it trembles and explodes.” From there, the band does not take their foot of the gas, putting in a stellar version before dropping back to the final Cryptical.

Not that you would, but you should also not sleep on the Dark Star. It ranges over vast territory, providing the essential heart of the second set before dropping into a classic Saint Stephen> Eleven.

Pig’s contributions on the night are also not to be missed. His harp and vocals as he struts the stage in Schoolgirl get things rolling, and his contributions on the Lovelight are second to none. He commands the scene as he blusters and bellows, entreating the crowd and practically directing the band as the rest of the boys follow his every word; nobody had more unrestrained charisma and mastery than Pig when he was at the height of his powers, and he is right there rapping on this Lovelight.
