Blissful, otherworldly, mellow (but intense) transition...why wasn't this on the Dick's Picks?!?!

constantly shifting gears from firey to spacy, hardly lets up for full 23 mins. A surprising gem from Euro '74!

A unique, interesting version due to the "china white". Has an almost country flavor with what sounds like a lot of slide guitar. A cool jam for sure.

I like this one, and all my faves are in '68-'72 - that should say something!

This one would definitely be too much under the right 'circumstances'

Best of 1970? gives 2/13 a run for its moo-la, IMO
