This one has more of an Other One-ish feel than most...they seem like they're pushing for it but end up going in a completely different direction

P.N.E. Coliseum

One of the best mellow blues versions...killer noodles from Jerry

Very graceful playing on this one, gets kind of spacey leading up to a smooth as butter transition into Dark Star.

Olympiahalle

Killer jam out of this Truckin' with a huge peak that gives way to some fast-paced space-jazz from Jerry, and landing on a quick little mellow MLBJ

University of Nevada

Beautiful, mellow version. Garica's tone is especially sweet, with an almost country-ish flavor; sounds like he's using a bit of slide?

Legendary warp-speed jazz fusion jamming. Keith sounds like Herbie Hancock at times. I also dig how they revisit the "Stronger than Dirt" theme at the very end.

Whole band is absolutely ON FIRE, one of the hottest of Fall '73.

Lots of lyrical flubs but ol' Jer makes up for it with some stunningly good playing...definitely dig
