I love it when they close the show with an uptempo rocker.

Some frisky pickin' from Jerry, backed by Phil thumping away.

Jerry's guitar is in thee-toed sloth mode, but isn't it pretty?

Mind Left Body Jam
Oct. 25, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

This is short - less than 2 minutes long inside a Dark Star - but sweet. No, heavenly.

Richfield Coliseum

Archive.org has this listed as Dear Prudence Jam, but it's a MLBJ. Only about 1 minute of it is worth listening to, where there is some nice keyboard work, which might have caused this to be mislabeled.

Kiel Auditorium

The beginning is awful. The band is out of sync and Keith is playing off key. The last 2 minutes are nice and melodic. Not one of the best, but a pretty neat 2 minutes inside a Dark Star.

Civic Arena

For this 12 minute jam, there's first a short Truckin' Jam that rolls into a longer Other One Jam. At 8:45, the band starts messing around with MLBJ. They never really fully play the melody - rather, they explore the tune's outer edges. Right before Drums is a very short GDTRFB tease.

This version is spacey and the band is searching for something new. Jerry plays with the melody more than he plays it, with it getting more focused half way in. It rolls into a mellow Truckin' opening, where Bob misses his cue to start singing. The result is a spacey Truckin' intro that lasts 1:20 and 1:10 into it, Bob plays a little more MLBJ. It's short, different and worth listening to.
