A lot of their early (pre-Donna) stuff can be pretty pitchy, but is super high energy. Also nice drums on this.

This is really one beautiful piece of a diadem sequence. Best appreciated in context.

I second the above completely. Make sure to check out some of the other awesome versions so this doesn't become a runaway freight train of up votes (looking at you, 05-08 S > F).

Also a nice video of this is up on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri7o3XwLUmo

Worth a bump. This gets pretty far out there, and there's a lot of great interplay. Better than the other, more famous Branford show that's been re-released lately?

Public Hall

This is the most organic sounding Dark Star. It grows out of tuning into a jam into space into the verse and feedback and subsequent jams without hesitation.
