Soulful and heartfelt. Version is marred by nasty cut, but is still one of the best ever.

After repeated listenings this Dark Star has started to sound masterful. Mind-blowing interplay between Keith, Jerry, and Phil, advanced exploration

Super emotional solo, and intense powerful leads, make this my favorite pre 76' Deal

Each piece is played to masterful heights. Pretty damn good version for 84' coasts into a rocking jack straw

This is what all Morning Dews should sound like. Spectacular final crescendo. One of the better Dews of 73'
Cumberland Blues

Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a real smoker, and vocals are top-notch. The whole early show is worth checking out.

They hit this out of the park. Each instrument clicks, and there is clear communication between instruments. Rocking and powerful version. Definitive.

New Minglewood Blues

Broome County Arena

These guys were on fire this whole show. But during this song they kick it into a new gear and pour it on like this was the last time they were ever going to play the song.
