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.

Rheinhalle

It's not just you. This version was one of my early go-tos (you know, when I wanted to hear BIODTL).
Cumberland Blues

Dillon Stadium

*pure country twang
Dark Star
Dec. 11, 1969
Thelma Theater

I love the space after the first verse vocals. Like proto-Sonic Youth. Very heady.
St. Stephen

Nice long jam following William Tell. Phil is thunderous.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 16, 1992
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Very enjoyable '90s Playin' -- I was impressed! The whole band really is on throughout the whole thing.
