I know is only 4 minutes long, but you get a 20 minutes jam out of truckin' with a spanish jam included that makes the whole run incredible.

What I love about Dark Star is that, just like life, sometimes it may get into dark places, but light always finds it way back (For me the most moving part of a good Dark Star is the moment that harmony first peeks out from the noise, like the sun breaking through the clouds). It doesn't matter if the clouds are now covering the sky, eventually the sun will come back out brighter than ever.

Dark star into Feelin' Groovy jam into Tighten Up Jam back to Dark Star. As far as I know they did this did (at least) three times: 10/25/69, 2/11/69 and this one definitely is the best of the bunch, also the most underrated.
