Wild and scrambled with lots of hooting and yelping. Lots of scary fun on this rare gem folks, with a Spanishy jam at the end.

Killer power bridging Dark Star into an atomic The Eleven. Not kidding, but all the early ones belong up here to spread more heads into '68 Dead.

Fillmore East

High-energy and very tight. Opens (?) an immortal show with a big bang. Great clear sound quality, too.

Fillmore East

Super-charged, but unfortunately incomplete. From the era when TOO took over from Cryptical, but this reprise has surprising power: PHIL.

Explosive and uptempo with a high-pressure energy that blows the tubes.

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

A strong version starting an epic epic show.

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.
