What makes this one stand out for me is that Bobby is really high on the mix and you get to hear all the cool stuff he's doing.

15 minutes long DS, pretty epic for 68. Foreshadows the great Dark Stars to come.

Please tell me they did this combination (DS->Bird Song) in 72. Can you imagine something like it? Eargasmic

Public Hall

@cgarces, thanks for the sugestion, 5/11 is definitely on my "to listen" list. I'm going through Europe 72 in chronological order and still have 3/4 of the way to go. 4/8 definitely became one of my top 10 dark stars.

Amazing, Jerry's solos are on point (the whole band too, for that matter)

Pigpen's voice is way down on the mix, but jerry is on fire and makes it up for the poor mix
