This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

I like it when Bobby is up in the mix. T.C adds some nice subtle organ work. This might be a little sloppy at times, but there was a lot energy in this performance.

This one really defines the 1969 Dark Star musical structure. Nothing outstanding for me, though.

When considering the Quality of a Dark Star sandwich, this one being a triple decker, I think of it as one entire piece of music. Going into Attics, works for me better then going into Sugar Mag. St Stephen is the natural song to end on, in my opinion. I like it better when they consider the mood of the songs that they combine, like going into Morning Dew or Stella blue instead of the more upbeat, or cowboy songs. To be fair, the mood of the 3 DS segments is pretty energetic and upbeat, therefore the entire piece works pretty well for me.

The recording that I listened to was muddy. It was hard to really pick out all of the parts being played. It still sounded like a good version, though.

This is a solid version, but it just doesn't hit the buttons for me..
