Joyful chaos: A brilliant splatter. Bobby's voice never sounded so good to me as it did in '71.

Pigpen at his best with the band at its grit-in-the-gears crunchiest. They were on this night and this one is just full of butt.

Very passionate version, some distortion or tape speed issues (?) remind me of my cassette trading days and bring out the trippiness to the song.

If this hard grooving China jam and Feeling Groovy transition doesn't just get you moving, then nothing can. Just perfect.

First version ever is real nice... but listen to the soundcheck version for insight into the bands working dynamics. Cool to hear them working on it.

Nice exploration of China's melodic themes before moving into the Riderish jam.

Combined Dark Star and Spanish jam.

I count this as a Dark Star jam as much as a Spanish Jam. DS melodic themes appear in the first minute and recur throughout.
