Great version of this song, percision and energy.

This is a murky recording but a solid version of DW. Jerry was laying down some nice "twangy" country licks on this one.

Incredibly energetic version, Bobby is at his best on this one. This was from a Fillmore East show, how could it not have been submited.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

^^Agreed. Trouble ahead for the boy's, but on that night, all was well. Early and late, both good shows.

^^^ I think the drummers sound pretty locked in on this one, considering they had played together for less then 5 months. It's not the best recording, that's for sure, but the playing is good and it's bursting with energy

Jerry really sells the vocal on this one. It sounds like Keith is playing organ and piano at the same time, maybe someone else is playing organ. Ship of fools also has a nice organ part. They did have guests occasionally, so who knows.
Dark Star

Kings Beach Bowl

^^^This is a good example of a very early Dark Star. it's fast and simple. There are no extended jams. There are no drums just maracas and guiro. This song really evolved through 68, by October this would become a psychedelic master piece; specifically 10-12-68.

Good version. Nice call and response between Jerry and Bobby during Jerrys solo.
