April 24, 1972 - Rheinhalle Dusseldorf,
Dark Star>Me and My Uncle>Dark Star. Brain dissolving jam that is as freaky as they come.

A clean, focused, jazzy, and sweet Dark Star into a gorgeously breath-taking Mind Left Body Jam. "Beyond words" sums it up best.

Rare WRS intro into DS, then 18 pre-verse minutes, never dull (it's 73), and 13 more post-verse minutes of space. WOW

Nice wandering version. Leads into a solid Spanish Jam and an epic US Blues
