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.

I can't believe nine and a half minutes can pack such a serious punch. This show deserves more attention.

Agree, this one just got to the top of my list. If not the best then a close second.

Agree, the ending is epic.

Starting around 4:40 there is an unnamed jam that appeared a few times during '73 inside Dark Stars and Other Ones, two examples are 2/26 Dark Star (just two days earlier, also on Dicks Picks) and 6/24/73 DS. There are a few more but I don't remeber the dates now (I think 9/11/73 DS had it too)

Come on people, this truckin is awesome, there are hints to NFBM but phil decides to throw some bombs instead and they end up heading to the other one.
