Still, we think the second half of the show – from the Truckin’ through Sing Me Back Home is one of the best stretches of the entire trip around Europe. Truckin’ kicks things off the second half, tight and so ripe before setting off on a rich, righteous, and frenetic jam into The Other One. The transition from Truckin’ into TOO is something special, blending the the two songs with such mesmerizing sophistication. And The Other One itself is simply epic. It is over thirty minutes long, including a long percussive romp to the very core of the tune. There, Jerry, Phil, and the rest of the boys slowly join Billy, eventually pounding their way to an incredible jam before Billy takes over once again. After the second drum solo, the band – at the behest of Phil’s massive series of bombs – roars back into the theme itself. Then they all embark on another face-melting journey of improvisation that winds its way to the outer reaches of the galaxy before returning to earth. However, these are not the psychedelic lily fields the boys left behind, but one shattered by an atomic cataclysm. Morning Dew, with its pensive mourning and awesome splendor, should be familiar as, like the Truckin’ that opened the set, it made its way onto the initial Europe ’72 album. From the arcing heights of the Dew, the band suddenly finds – in a heady rush – The Other One again, coming back around for another raging pass through it, including a sensational run with Keith and Pig both torching the keys. This six minute gambol finally puts the song to rest for the evening and leads right to a beautiful, heart-rending Sing Me Back Home. It’s hard to listen to its poignant majesty without getting a little emotional about Pig. Though he was no criminal bound for the gallows, it is his second to last show, and really the last time Pig will perform at anything resembling his full power. The rest of the set is good, but Me and My Uncle is just never going to rival The Other One, let alone this Other One. Still, there is a sweet Ramble on Rose and then a joyous, rocking frolic through Sugar Mags, Casey Jones, and One More Saturday Night to close out the show, the run, and the tour.
