Inconsistent, but at times brilliant. Set position is insanely good.
Dear Prudence

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This is a Mind Left Body Jam. Why do people have such a hard time identifying such a distinct piece of music? Listen to something labeled as MLBJ then listen to the Jerry Garcia Band do Dear Prudence. You will see they are two completely different melodies.

The same thing is happening with That Would Be Something. The #1 rated version is from Dick's Picks 17 - it starts out with an unlabeled MLBJ. When you take away the MLBJ, it's just pretty average. 4-5-95 is much better.

There's a big-time problem with this. There's a Mind Left Body Jam that starts around the 30 minute mark. This should be labeled as Dark Star>Mind Left Body Jam. You can't give Dark Star credit for something played at the end of it that isn't Dark Star.
