Jam is exceptional. Love Bobby and Keith's chords jabbing and punctuating Jerry's lead

Intense, dramatic version with great singing from Jerry and Donna, great Weir guitar. Love the silence before the solo

Sneaky version with great playing by Keith and Jerry. Love what Jerry plays at the end of the jam.

I know they should have played Dark Star in Egypt. But this is a fantastic EP. Dynamic, dramatic, Jerry on fire.

Huge, 18-minute version with great dynamics, deep vocals. Bobby's slide playing and interplay with Jerry are great.

Should be higher. I don't think I've heard a better version. Phil is insane.

Amazing version. The best 70s versions have an airy, elastic quality, with Jerry sounding like a shower of sparks. His solo and playing in the jam are awesome.
