Dark Star
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Phil just clobbering away throughout makes the China>Rider inseparable, much like the Cumberland two nights later. Ranking Dark Stars is difficult exercise, but a great privilege. Whatever number of votes this one gets, it’s like having a Chimay Grande Reserve on tap while you’re playing it.

The Spectrum

Got this in a qual sbd soon after the show. Emphatically stated out of the blocks and right through to the line. Disco-schmisco - this comes right at you between the eyes.
The Other One
Dec. 1, 1971
Boston Music Hall

A huge envelope(ment) pusher -- f f fall f f frenzied intergalactica and, oh yeah, we're in the middle of the Other One, weren't we type stuff.

Iowa State Fairgrounds

I've got a girrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllllll!!! Way too low; I suppose votes go to other songs in the show, but dang...
