Rehearsal, no vocals, brilliant explorations of the song in development. Great insight into the boys' collective mind.

The Eleven

Fillmore West
Sorry - didn't hear the correct version. The Eleven doesn't come out of Mason's. My bad.

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

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.

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