China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 17, 1970
Cleveland Music Hall

Multigen sound quality, but unmistakenly tight jam with a sweet transition.

Doin' That Rag
Jan. 24, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Song was brand new and they're searching for the sound, almost goes into a Violaesque jam. Transitional, hot stuff.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Jan. 17, 1969
Civic Auditorium

Deep and mournful, with great organ fills and group soloing. Very solid.

St. Stephen
June 7, 1969
Fillmore West

Massively crunching Stephen with Jer's tone like a machinegunbuzzsaw. Out of a killer DS too. Why no love yet?

Sugar Magnolia
Sept. 17, 1970
Fillmore East

Something happened to the song between August and September, and this is the "first" Sugar Mag that resembles the song we know, now it's tight.

Great show all around.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 26, 1973

Nice exploration of China's melodic themes before moving into the Riderish jam.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Baltimore Civic Center

A strong version starting an epic epic show.
Spanish Jam

The Spectrum

Combined Dark Star and Spanish jam.
Spanish Jam
March 24, 1973
The Spectrum

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.
