Jerry and Keith are just on fire behind the beautiful vocal duet. This show is underappreciated. Give it a spin....

Always preferred the fast ones, but listening to Jerry rip up the solos here and it makes sense. Killer version here (with a rude AUD patch though).

Has a crisp and tight disco shuffle prefiguring the '77 sound. Jerry's solo fills are precise and brilliant. Donna's harmonies are as sweet as ever.

Nice on its own, and brilliant as part of a great PITB-SS-Wheel-PITB sandwich. You can hear the fun their having. Short but sweet.

From Phil's opening swoops to Jerry's passion-vox, and pristine soloing, this is a killer stand alone SB. Surprised it's not here yet.

Hard to Handle

45 years ago today... just noticed that. Loooove the archive/time machine. Peace, friends, and give a thought to our veteran brothers and sisters out there today.

If you like this, then check out 09 November 1970. In spite of being a very rough AUD, it does show off the electric funky Elem.

C- AUD quality for completists only.

Mountain Jam "discussed" between 06:40 and approx 07:30. Right there on the surface, just blistering to come out in the open. This is a perfect show all around.
Dark Star
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Everything said supra: pre-verse is possibly the prettiest Dark Star out there. The verse sung beautifully. The crowd is keyed in - listen to the whole run and this show to know just how rowdy and aggressive they were - and coalesces around the hyperspace jump into the post-verse exploration by hushing the lone doubter. What comes next is mind-ripping and hard; don't use this to convince your dead-doubting partner to get on the bus. But then light. The darkness clears and we're home free... A Main Ten brings order back to the spacial consciousness. All this in 16 minutes of music.
