Winterland Arena

Bobby's on, tight version. Short - but you can hear hints of where Playin' will go in '72.

The Ark

Mysterious movement from acoustic to electric inside this gem. Moves into a great Darkstar.

The Eleven
Feb. 5, 1970
Fillmore West

Sorry - didn't hear the correct version. The Eleven doesn't come out of Mason's. My bad.
St. Stephen
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

One-of-a-kind transition into Mason's. Historic, if only because this was the first DS>SS after Tom C. left the band (unless they played another one in Hawaii after January 23 that didn't make it onto the Archive...).
Dark Star
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

Everything you could want in a 1970 Star: Tight when it needs to be, then loose when it should be, eclectic, melodic, soaring, deep, complicated... Twists its themes around themselves like a moebius strip.
The Other One
Feb. 1, 1970
The Warehouse

Re-entry comes in with supernova force and one of those throat-drying "I hope I can handle this" moments. Some folks are probably still seeing tracers from it. Though it does have a patch missing, it's still hella worth the ride.
Black Peter
Jan. 31, 1970
The Warehouse

Deep, subtle, beautiful acoustic version. So intimate, it sounds like they're just singing around a campfire.
