Me and My Uncle

Dane County Coliseum

Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

Looks Like Rain

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

Grand Prix Racecourse

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

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

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.
