Gut bucket blues. Pure danger from Blue Ron. Hard to figure why this ain't already here.

One of those versions where it sounds like every note is just the embodiment of perfection.

Boston Music Hall

Shredding solo over the 7/4 section and lots of dark power here, though there are some mix issues and maybe some tape speed wobble. Clean versions?

Pauley Pavilion

Totally overlooked: An intricate, mercurial, and explosive monster masterwork. Overshadowed by but totally different from the enormous 12/02.

Nice exploration of China's melodic themes before moving into the Riderish jam.

I count this as a Dark Star jam as much as a Spanish Jam. DS melodic themes appear in the first minute and recur throughout.
