Shorter than later incarnations, this one is a full throttle cosmic adventure condenced neatly into an 11min package

This one really moves along. Not a lull in sight. I have been all over Keith's manbag recently and this version is no different. Guy shines in his fills. Playin's slayed in fall '72 and this one is a definitely on par

Merriam webster defines "heady" as Keith's fills in this China > Rider transition. Guy is an unsung hero. F'n tasty China jam here

It has been a very long time since I have spun this show. Good to see that this O1 can still birth a cosmic brain baby after all of this time. Myriad stylistic shifts, from jam segment to jam segment. There is a several minute jam portion in the middle that is straight nasty

To double down on my comments for this version, this one is fucking fire! Definitely does not get the dap it deserves. Set the table for the Branford sit in, but stands wholeheartedly on its own as a blissful, intricate, driving masterpiece.
