Space
Sept. 4, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Super heady, effects-drenched Space that suggests what a fall ’79 Dark Star might’ve sounded like.

Promised Land
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

This really gets cookin’! Keith, Billy, and Jerry seem to be playing little rhythmic games, switching up the accents in interesting ways.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

Splendid set closer with delightfully boisterous contributions from Keith and a permeating feeling of real joy.

Sweetly melodic outro, well-played. I really enjoyed this Space > Other One > Stella.

Forceful and confident, with rowdy playing from Bobby and Brent in particular.

Looks Like Rain
July 14, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California

Brent's clever accompaniment helps the ending jam levitate and glide.
Loser
July 13, 1984
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

This version has IT.
Bird Song
Nov. 30, 1981
Hara Arena

The new Seamons matrix sounds perfect. Let the sound wash over you …
Deal
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

Kicks so much ass. I won’t call you crazy if you prefer the pre-retirement Deals, but if you don’t, this might be The One.
Mama Tried
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

One of those performances where you can hear how much they loved this song and how fun it is to play and sing.
