Brokedown Palace

Fillmore East

The acoustic set is unbeliebable. We get Ripple, Brokedown and Box of Rain. Three of my favourite songs back to back.

You can tell a good Wharf Rat (by the way she shines??) just by listening to the outro jam

Dark Star
April 24, 1970
Mammoth Gardens

Criminally underrated. 1970 was such a great year for Dark Stars, melodic with minimalistic and quiet spaces, yet still dripping with psychedelia from the earlier years. And this version is a top 5 of the year. After the verse they go into a short Feelin' Groovy jam which quickly morphs into a Tighten Up jam only to end up returning into the Feelin' groovy theme. I believe this is the only time they did this conbination in this way.
