Never thought I'd dig this song so much. They're just so on this whole night (week actually).

I love this version. It's got oomph and doesn't put you to sleep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyAOwP8dLqc for video.

Fire On The Mountain

Grand Prix Racecourse

Embryonic "Fire" in the "soundcheck jam" into Wharf Rat. Not a full FTM, but of amazing Deadfulness and not listed elsewhere. Check it out!

Dark Star
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

One of the melodically most inventive Dark Stars ever. This one has infinity all over it and makes me smile smile smile each time I hear it. Lots of Phil weirdness and electronica, too - sounds like what he'd be doing in '74 with Seastones.

Slower than versions earlier in the tour. Not so much a hymn of bursting springtime joy but more a long mellow ride in the hot summer sun.
Eyes Of The World
June 10, 1973
RFK Stadium

Full of exploring jams, cool Slipknot teases mid-way through and just the right amount of joyful chaos, with a really cool blues jam for the last 30 seconds that could have gone elswhere, but landed in a Stella. Great version.
Playin' In The Band

High-octane jam. Brilliant interplay between everybody.

But agreed! The vocals are outstanding and the collective improv is just jaw droppingly good. Not to overstate it, but the whole 3rd set is explosively good.
