Sneaky version with great playing by Keith and Jerry. Love what Jerry plays at the end of the jam.

I know they should have played Dark Star in Egypt. But this is a fantastic EP. Dynamic, dramatic, Jerry on fire.

Huge, 18-minute version with great dynamics, deep vocals. Bobby's slide playing and interplay with Jerry are great.

Nassau Coliseum

Beautiful version. Lots of subtlety and emotion in Jerry's vocal. He kills it in the solo and his lick before the repeated chorus at the end cuts like a knife.
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Huge version with heroic solos. Billy is the driving force.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
May 14, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Another great mysterious, meandering jam out of Saint and into a great Comes a Time
Terrapin Station
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

Love the emphatic singing and angry riffs from Jerry
Uncle John's Band
May 8, 1980
Glens Falls Civic Center

Jerry's middle solo is brilliant. Cutting, piercing.
