Unusual, long Space for the era. Fans of Feedback will enjoy this one.

Carnival of sounds and textures. Wild stuff.

Pummeling version with Phil cranked UP in the mix.

The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

Yeah, Phil is all over this version. I wouldn’t say Jerry’s vocal delivery is lacking, though. He fumbles a lyric at the end, but the dynamics and feeling are all there. Great version, though. Casts a spell.

Ah, the Download Series Vol. 10 version is actually filler from 7/22. Great in any case!

And how about those Caution teases from Phil?! Good lord.

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.
