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.

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.

Turn On Your Love Light
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Vastly more interesting than the majority of latter-day Lovelights.
High Time
March 28, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

As clean and polished a version as I've heard, from any era.
Easy To Love You
March 28, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Not my favorite song, but there's something pretty special about this crisp and confident version. Nice!
Looks Like Rain
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Just incredible. This very creative, spontaneous version has any energy of its own.
New Minglewood Blues
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Feisty version from a feisty show. Tuscaloosa is the fall '77-type show of spring '77.
