beautiful reading of this song. Jerry forgets some words, and makes up for it with some expressive singing in the following line.

This song usually gets under my skin, but when it's working like it's supposed to (Bobby's on, set list placement, etc.), I get it.

Short, sweet, > Rider (!). Fitting show to close (what becomes) the Days Between.

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

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).

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?

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.
