Hits a great groove early on, with some cool interplay before the first verse.

If you like some of Jerry's guitar effects from early versions of "Dark Star," give this a listen! Short but sweet.

Cool transition from "Space," and the organ in the intro is hot. Leads into a smoking "Watchtower"

This is a really nice version, and I enjoyed the transition. I also really enjoy Garcia’s effects palette from these years. Sound isn’t great, has anyone heard any AUDs of this?

Thanks, man. I think everyone should give this whole show a listen, it's a solid one. I need to go through it again and comment/upvote on stuff like that stellar "PITB."

Stark and stunning move from "Eyes," and the dark>light move is both structural in this song, and represents that shifts occurring throughout this sequence. Great stuff.

Worth another note- the move from "DS" is sublime, and the move into the minor jam at the end prepares "China Doll" nicely. Also, I'm pretty sure that Jerry reprises an idea from the "DS" here, though I'd have to give it another listen to be sure.
