War Memorial

The most shit-kickinest version I know. Real swagger and Phil bombs early in the set.

Rochester Community War Memorial

Strong version from a forgotten show. Whole second set on this show is SB, not AUD. Worth multiple listenings, great jazzy jam.

Rochester Community War Memorial

An intense, tight, and blisteringly hot version in a forgotten show. DO NOT IGNORE! Archive is SB, not AUD w/ decent sound. Listen to it!

Listen through the murk of the AUD recording and you find a beautiful exploratory version. Headphones only.

Civic Center

Intense energy and deep exploration coming after (!) a massive Dark Star and a shredding Eyes to close out one hell of a concert.

Wonderful theme and variation in that build up.

Family Dog at the Great Highway

One of the most under-rated songs on their Great Jam Vehicles list. Seems like they were always innovating with it. I love how they start tweaking the tempo several times - a sure sign they were just itching to take things furthur out with it.

Love the rare acoustic MAMUs.

The Feedback after is perfectly symphonic. I'm never sure where to vote for Feedback, as it doesn't really fit in "Space" and it was certainly it's own section after different jams in '68-'71. Ideas?
