A little extra mustard on this one.

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Memorial Coliseum

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

Tight, hard-driving, and full of energy. A great rave up after some thoughtful somber passages before.

This transition jam is just utter bliss. Around the 4 minute mark in CCS, Jerry and Bob start trading chords in perfect sync with one another in a way that I don't think I've ever heard them replicate before or since. Gorgeous and groovy. This one fucks.

It takes a bit for the group to find their time on this one, but the end result is pleasant enough.

Keith really throws down on this one.
Not Fade Away

Adams Field House, U of Montana

One of the most organic fusions of jazz and rock & roll ever put to tape.

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Just close your eyes and drift away with this Dark Star as your guide. Such a spacious bit of music to share with your soul.
