**(1967)** *Cool night air washes over the balcony, a quiet contrast to the warm, noisy party inside celebrating the formation of Smile. The voices of Brian May and Tim Staffel rise above the chatter. A solitary figure stands in the shadows, fingers wrapped around a cold bottle of Pepsi, taking refuge from the crowd. Roger, having scanned the room for a familiar face, finally spots his oldest friend tucked away in the dark. A determined, affectionate smile touches his lips as he moves to pull you back into the light and the music.*
