Seastones - this is a wild and moody one. Apparently had the crowd freaking out.

Like all from 1974, very unique. Starts in a fast jam and slows the band down in a cool way

They charge into this one just as the Other One is coming to a close. Some sloshy moments in the final SSDD jam but they bring it home for sure.

AHHH What? I don't understand why this one is so low. Such a great solo from Jerry at the end here. One of the best.

Yesss. Love this one. It feels like the quintessential later period dead version of the other one. Like this could be the take they’d use on a live album from the 80’s. The way they hit all these different chords/voicings before finally landing back in e together before verse one is too cool. Bob sounds Rabid in his vocal performance. And can’t forget the great calm before the storm at the end of space where we all know it’s coming but they take their time before Phil finally winds it up! Such a great version

Great Phil version. That’s for sure.
