Great sandwich of a great set. Bill Graham is Father Time, sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders!

Thanks! Zesty indeed! Maybe you're right, maybe it's some Clementine... Everyone should hear this!!!!

Excellent Main Ten!!! And the jams before and after (called Dark Star Jam by some.....) make it pretty darn sacred.

Scorching and sublime, especially coming out of the 35 minute jam before it. The entire jam, over 45 minutes, is really just full throttle, rip roaring, way out there rock and roll at its best.

This is fantastic and amazing. A great essay/story from Grateful Dead Guide says it might be 2/19/69. The Main Ten surges triumphantly from a jam that has weird hints of a weird Weather Report-ish jam, before heading back into a fiery, gorgeous jam that leads to a scorching hot Other One Jam!! Calling it Dark Star at least gets more to listen, I suppose. But…. There should be some sort of name for what happens here because it is sacred stuff and everyone should hear it!!!
