Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn.

1st version and Keith's 1st show. Jerry's voice is clear and full of meaning and remorse. Very beautiful.

Deep Elem Blues

Studio

Unique as an electric funky blues. The only recording of it between 70 and 78 in a studio rehearsal. Pity this didn't go into rotation this way.

Historic oddity. Keith's rehearsal and three weeks before the first live version. Alternate lyrics, but fun. Some sound issues, tape wobble/speed.

Playin' In The Band

Historic moment with Keith's rehearsals, so there's that. But there's also some magic here and they really bite into the groove. Some sound issues.

Totally nuts. The jam is supernova material.

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.
