One of my favorite EPs. Can't believe it's not on here yet. Jam is fantastic, with Phil leading the way. Huge ideas and imagination.

Great jam covering a lot of ground, Phil pushing and pulling patiently, Jerry attacking.

Jerry's last solo is outrageous and the drummers respond

Jam is exceptional. Love Bobby and Keith's chords jabbing and punctuating Jerry's lead

Intense, dramatic version with great singing from Jerry and Donna, great Weir guitar. Love the silence before the solo

Agreed, this is a remarkable transition into Eyes. Listen to what Bobby plays.

moberg is right about the solo. What Jerry does in the last chorus is mind blowing. He just decides fuck it. Great transition and Fire too.

This is not a good Dark Star. They try something dissonant, it doesn't work, verse is a train wreck, and they're relieved to be playing NFA. No wonder it was the last one for almost 3 years.

It's late in the day but Jerry and Keith have some great interplay here.

Great vocals and solo
