Excellent version. Bobby brings it for the finale and the whole band thunders behind him on target throughout.

Folks, you need to hear this one. It's absolutely gorgeous. Great interplay between Jerry and Vince on the solos and the whole version oozes soul.

Obligatory, but fun nonetheless.

The first thirty seconds with Airto Moreira are blood curdling. Terrifying, trippy stuff. Handle with care.

One of the few songs Keith wakes up for during this show, sadly.

It's a shame that the soundboard of this show is littered with problems. It only includes the last instrumental break and Bobby's reprise of the final verse, but it's wholly worth it regardless. Jerry is playing with relish and Bobby goes absolutely batshit as he sings the finale.

Jerry's broken voice adds so much to this one. Maybe it's just the show's overall reputation, but there's darkness even in this "BEW" (as opposed to the usual wistful melancholy that is the heart of the song).

Soldier Field

Indeed! This one could just as well be counted as a legit instrumental "Dark Star" as opposed to just a jam. At nearly eight minutes, it's a fleshed out meditation on the song's main theme. It's not just a tease, the song's melody is all there.

Around 15 or 16 minutes in, Vince seems to jump in on the "Dark Star" teases.
