Highlights for me were Bobby's voice bouncing around the hall and Jerry's super sweet tone.

Quick tempo and nice bounce, with some great band support under Jerry's triplet ideas during the solo.

Even the "Drums" from this show is a step-above, and > "Wheel."

This is really one beautiful piece of a diadem sequence. Best appreciated in context.

Nassau Coliseum

I second the above completely. Make sure to check out some of the other awesome versions so this doesn't become a runaway freight train of up votes (looking at you, 05-08 S > F).

Also a nice video of this is up on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri7o3XwLUmo

Worth a bump. This gets pretty far out there, and there's a lot of great interplay. Better than the other, more famous Branford show that's been re-released lately?

Public Hall

This is the most organic sounding Dark Star. It grows out of tuning into a jam into space into the verse and feedback and subsequent jams without hesitation.
