This is when I thought the show locked in.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Dark Star
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

This is really one beautiful piece of a diadem sequence. Best appreciated in context.
Eyes Of The World
March 29, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

I second the above completely. Make sure to check out some of the other awesome versions so this doesn't become a runaway freight train of up votes (looking at you, 05-08 S > F).
Drums -> Space
Sept. 10, 1991
Madison Square Garden

Also a nice video of this is up on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri7o3XwLUmo
Dark Star

Madison Square Garden

Worth a bump. This gets pretty far out there, and there's a lot of great interplay. Better than the other, more famous Branford show that's been re-released lately?
Dark Star
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

This is the most organic sounding Dark Star. It grows out of tuning into a jam into space into the verse and feedback and subsequent jams without hesitation.
