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.

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

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.

Listening again (and again and again) to that gentle lilting jam, and I'm more convinced now that you could describe it as a long teasing intro into the TOO that they finally reach after drums. It isn't TOO in the power-acid rollercoaster cannon shot, but right around 07:30 Keith switches up the chord changes and the drums switch from 12/8 feel (regular triplets over the 4/4 of the main melody) into a clear 6/8 (the meter of TOO). Jerry picks it up right away and turns his flutter of a butterfly wing solo into a rock waltz. By 09:40 Phil and Bobby are pushing it into uncharted territory (it almost sounds like the stuff Joni Mitchell would do with Jaco Pastorius starting the same year) but somehow TOO is already in the air, gently, touched by that beautiful '76 understatement. It's only in the last few seconds before Drums that they spell it out completely. What beauty!

Soloing is brilliant, and the jam almost lifts off into the Dancing in the Streets territory of the era.

Wasn't too convinced at first by this one. It drags a bit during the first minutes, but then, oh lord, hold on tight because you're about to lose your face. Kicks up around 06:30 min in.

Real love here between Jerry and Keith. Different mixes to chose from, but I'm enjoying the Tetzeli Soundboard. Bobby's a bit lost, but otherwise great separation and a clear sound. Keith is clear and glorious.

Not a KSM. A very cool jam indeed, but doesn't have the melody, structure, meter, polyrhythms or form of KSM. There are arguably thematic riffs in common, but if I had to say, I'd say this is erroneously marked.
