Not sure if a good source was out there for this one pre-internet, Smith/Miller/Clugston cleanup is fantastic. Yeah this one can hang with any of the heavy hitter DS's. Winterland magic, this one propels itself into orbit with vigor. Pre-verse gets a little puddly with some indian influences and drones from all, left to simmer over Billy getting funkmeister, dials in for a great peak. The melt has truly primordial intensity, countered by a sense of tender meditation. not for chompers. Snakes start talking by the end of this shit.

frantic, full of midi, Weir puts in some great rhythmic ideas to get this thing rolling. Awesome 4.1 version.

happy 50th to this absolute mindfuck of a version. Galaxies of deep existential agony.
