Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

Damn, here I am commenting on this again?? This a sick, psychedelic Bird Song with Bobby leading the charge. Breaks down into pure space in multiple places. No wonder they didn't play Dark Star back then, they didn't need to.

Fantastic jam into The Other One. Phil is brilliant.

Keith sounds amazing on this. Love the little lick he plays after "Just like Jack and Jill." One of the best versions I've heard

Scary jam demands that you pay attention. You can't run away from it.

So cool that they go into a loose jam out of this tune. Bobby is def playing Wang Dang Doodle.
