I have definitetly been know to FFWD through Space on playback, but this one is just beautiful. Starts out very spaced out, then gets blissful.

This one just keeps building, and building, until MASSIVE PEAK. All kinds of tension/release

Been a while since i have spun this one - it shoots straight into the cosmos. Very spacey

Great way to start an epic two-night run in the mothership

Un-fuck-wittable. Finally pulled the trigger on Spring '90 vinyl and this specimen of beauty shines BRIGHT. My favorite.

Agree with comments above. This one is melodic and savory, with Brent nailing some great runs in the end segment

Fillmore East

Slinky, relaxed version. Not a hint of urgency. Great interplay with Lesh/Jerry/Bob and a solid mini-peak, led by Phil in the middle, pre Bobby hand clap rap.

Perfect amount of grit on the Jerry solo.

Radio City Music Hall

Brent on fire with a delicate, chunky solo, passes to Bobby for a subtle, confident drive, then Jerry blasts the song into the stratosphere with a spine tingling run up the neck.
