2nd one ever, and it seems like they're still getting it together. Nicely stripped down and clear vocals. Historically interesting.

Massive enthusiasm, Jerry sings himself hoarse. Brilliant, in spite of poor AUD quality.

All the inferno-intensity of the great '72s (yeah, those ones) condensced to 14min. Only reason not here is the B- AUD quality. Don't miss it!

AUD-only supernova, not for the SBD-only folks. The band is so tight, the arc or the song just exactly perfect.

Listen past the saturated AUD murk and behold a masterpiece. High energy, hitting the highlights and ending on a perfect feedback whine. Great show.

Thanks a lot Blob Weird. That's one of my favorite versions and I'll check it out again for the tease. I love how the Dead mix everything together - the delicate theme from WRS right in the middle of a sweaty Pig blues... and why not? Sorry about the double post. UPDATE: It's actualy in the outro of TOO after MAMU, not Hard to Handle, but it's certainly there. Cool!

WRS Prelude "tease" at 3:13 of the reprise. It's absolutely clear. Does anybody know of one earlier? Anybody? Also a very beautiful and great jam after MAMU.

Sweet and honest, this song always gives me chills. The Betty Board is oh so nice.

Starts as a whisper and takes its time, filled with silences and, well, space, not "Space". It builds then into the great musical promise that is Dark Star at its most wonderous and beautiful.
