Great harp solo, solid smoldering jam. Pig's voice is brilliant.

A sweet and subtle acoustic gem, with some of the NRPS boys.

One of the midnight shows that confuse historians, but one of the sweet-harmony Candymans that just slay me. No confusion there.

Total Bird Song. This show does drag in a few places during in the first set, perhaps due to being in the studio for the month prior, or new equipment. But by Bird Song, they were absolutely flying and it shows throughout the rest of the show. Just what I search for in this song.

Monumentally massive 2nd set - with a great Dark Star before it. This is an experimental yet tight version. Around 14:00 it really takes off into new territory. A beauty.
Dark Star

Roosevelt Stadium

The real deal: Dark Star as endless source. It tickles your ears then floats you senseless, then moves into the farther corners of the cosmos. It stretches, it bends, it melts, it gets scary. Listen to it again and again and again, there's always something new in it....
