Me and My Uncle

Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

Great vocal outro—listen to Brent! The jam is also several minutes of nasty funk.

Maybe they're arguing that if they *had* played it, it would have been the best? Maybe there's a mysterious "lost set" out there with an even longer Dark Star? "I heaad a clip of it once, mannnn, it was killer."
Eyes Of The World

Public Hall

Quite an incredible version. Everyone sounds amazing.
