Eclectic melodicism and mood shifts make this beauty at times sound like outer space, at times like a bossa sunrise on the beach. A '73 gem.

Sweet and tight. Soulful vocals and - if I'm not wrong - Phil singing harmony (???). A great show from the fall '73 tour.

Sweet version with long Jer and Bobby double solo. Hits all the '73 highs: tight, long jam, with lots of Jerry's fast-mellow and space bugs.

Civic Arena

Bobby's neck vein-poppin vocals and Phil's full-throttle power make this a great one. Sept.'73 horns are low in the mix for a cool live/studio effect.

Steady rockin' version with beautiful outro.

Wonderful theme and variation in that build up.

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?
