Space
Sept. 4, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Super heady, effects-drenched Space that suggests what a fall ’79 Dark Star might’ve sounded like.

Winterland Arena

This really gets cookin’! Keith, Billy, and Jerry seem to be playing little rhythmic games, switching up the accents in interesting ways.

Splendid set closer with delightfully boisterous contributions from Keith and a permeating feeling of real joy.

Sweetly melodic outro, well-played. I really enjoyed this Space > Other One > Stella.

Forceful and confident, with rowdy playing from Bobby and Brent in particular.

Paramount Northwest Theater

Ah, the Download Series Vol. 10 version is actually filler from 7/22. Great in any case!
Not Fade Away
May 26, 1977
Baltimore Civic Center

And how about those Caution teases from Phil?! Good lord.
Drums -> Space

Capital Centre

Anyone else hear a momentary "Sorcerer's Apprentice" tease from Jerry in Space, give or take six minutes in?

^^ What Grendel said. I’m truly not certain if I’ve heard a better version of this song from ’77.
St. Stephen
Jan. 11, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Primal Dead throwback. Absolutely electrifying.
