Me and My Uncle
Right in the middle of the DS>Drums>TOO>MAMU>TOO...the transition is perfect, and the driving bass really brings it home

Comes A Time
About 2 weeks after it was first played, There is a verse halfway through that was only sung this one time...maybe a hint into the meaning of the song

Playin' In The Band
An extremely energetic early version, less spacey than later versions but the tightness and energy make up for that.

Beat it on Down The Line
They're having a great time here, you can tell. Even the monitor problems are the source of fun.

Tennessee Jed
Jerry's Strat sound is so perfect here. This whole show (and the 6th) highlight the sound of this era perfectly.

Dark Star
A short but fascinating star, starts way out, filled with melodicism and beauty, almost yearns for the TOO>MAMU to emerge out of it. Give it a chance.
