Very beautiful, almost sparse playing on this one. It's different than most from '74 but it works.

Short but high octane version with Billy and Jerry crushing it...the jam rises to a furious climax!

Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Killer Nobody's jam in which Jerry apparently breaks a string, but Keith steps up very nicely. Some subtle Other One teases towards the end of one.

BEST of '73!! after the Phil solo Keith launches them into one of the craziest jams ever. First time I heard this I fell out of my seat!

agreed, one of the very best DS out there, and the finest of E72

Sorry this is hands down better than Veneta in my book! My all-time favorite Dark Star - the most utterly sublime MLB jam ever!!
