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.

Stella Blue

Ventura County Fairgrounds

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.

Tennessee Jed
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

I’m on an upvoting spree this first set, which is to say — it’s all so good. Don’t skip any of the short songs on the way to the big jams.
Terrapin Station
Aug. 4, 1982
Kiel Auditorium

This is an exceptionally well-played Terrapin even before they get to the jam. With the jam, this is a reasonable contender for the Top 25. Brent shows off his jazz chops throughout.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

Commenting purely on the audio: Anyone checking out this show should hear the Dusborne matrix, which is much livelier and more detailed than the muddy-sounding Dave’s Picks release.
To Lay Me Down
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Altogether almost faultless, this one climaxes nicely with Jerry’s solo.
Black Throated Wind
Nov. 20, 1973
Denver Coliseum

Fabulous performance all around!
