Space
Sept. 4, 1979
Madison Square Garden

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

Promised Land
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

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

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Winterland Arena

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.

He's Gone
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Wow. One of my favorite standalone versions now. Just exactly perfect.
Cumberland Blues
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Sounds like Jerry quotes some recognizable (famous) bluegrass licks in this one. Sorry, can't ID the song.
Me and My Uncle
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Folks... this is quite a Me & My Uncle.
Caution
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Holy fuck! This is nuts! Absolutely raging '68 firestorm of a Caution.
Turn On Your Love Light
Oct. 20, 1968
Greek Theatre - University of California

Not better than the best of '69-'71, but this one sure shreds in places.
