For me, SPACE was mostly a throw-away save for some epically-scary live experiences. There are a few notable exceptions:

The Raven Space
Other One on the other side
China Doll on the other side
The Wheel on the other side
GDTRFB on the other side

I don’t know what it is, but ‘these’ spaces seem to be ones I enjoy more than others. There are exceptions but this heuristic works for me.

Loved it live, and really miss it. Rarely if ever used it for a bathroom break. I do have to admit I often skip it when listening to a show, though. It's never the same as being there!

i really enjoy it. i don't listen to it every single show but more times than not i find myself getting sucked into it. wanting to hear how it will unfold. it helps understand the backend of 2nd sets sometimes, at least for me. also, that transition into whatever it may be is always exciting.

Well said Burt. I do love love when they go into a good Jerry ballad like morning dew. I like space. But I also like an extra song in the set.

I like space even if it got way too predictable.. The greatest space ever is from RCMH 1980 on Dead Set - franklins>space>Fire.

Now my wife, on the other hand, wants to smash the stereo into teeny tiny little pieces when she hears it

I didn't mind it, but there's no question I would have rather had 2-4 more songs than D>S. I'm extremely thankful they don't do it anymore. I want the additional songs, and I don't care for the 2nd set formula. Maybe if it had come out of nowhere and wasn't so predictable in placement, I would've enjoyed it even more.

I always said that I'd happily pay the ticket price for three hours of drums and space.

gimme some drums, space, and/or feedback, and iamthedoor is one happy door:)

When the goin gets weird the weird turn pro. Stoned or sober, it is enjoyable to watch them have so much fun doing it.
