What makes this one stand out for me is that Bobby is really high on the mix and you get to hear all the cool stuff he's doing.

15 minutes long DS, pretty epic for 68. Foreshadows the great Dark Stars to come.

My two favourite versions of this song happen to be both from 78 just a couple of weeks apart, this one and Feb 5, UNi dome
Dark Star
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Demented is the word to describe this mammoth of a dark star. It's creeps into your mind and takes you through dark spaces. It's not for everyone, I can easily see that, but in the right state of mind it will shatter your brain into little pieces, It will take you everywhere you need to go and places you never dared to enter before (and likely will never visit again)
The Other One
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

I just casualy listening to the Road Trips bonus disc when suddenly a wild Mind Left Body jam appeared when I was not expecting it.
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

The dark star before this takes you to dark places and makes you believe you'll never see sunshine again, until you hear the Eyes of the World chords, that is, and the world is filled with light once again
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Heard this while going to work today, left a smile on my face that lasted the whole day.
