Compact but intense. Vivid and hallucinatory.

Not on autopilot! Hear them having real fun with MAMU like it’s 1974.

The Mecca

Limber version with terrific energy.

Bruce pummels this one, repeating a hummable lick apparently unique to this version. It elicits a big finish from the whole band.

Concerted and intense in the last few minutes. A team effort.

Space

Dancin' in the Streets
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Very jammy. Quite conceivably what an early ’78 Dark Star might have sounded like.
St. Stephen

Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

This had me cranking the volume. Excellent jamming. Also give 1/11/78 a try.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 7, 1981
Des Moines Civic Center

I’m not sure I hear it as Supplication, but the jam out of Saint into Drums is indeed excellent.
Space

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

I dispute GDM’s labeling of this as Space — ’77-’78 had a lot of solo Garcia moments, just like Phil was prone to stepping out in ’72-’73 or Bob/Brent before drums in the early ’80s — but it’s a magnificent moment.
