These early 70s Jack Straws have so much Charm. Silky smooth rendition full of grace and wonderful joyous interplay. Surprised this isn’t here yet.

“It’s polka time!” Shouts Bobby at the beginning of this one! Honored to submit this one. Absolute rager from an underrated show.

Stunning organ parts that take the song to a different level. Feels like I'm going down a lazy river without a care in the world.

Dark Star
May 18, 1972
Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

The German audience was hypnotized this night. A deep dive into the void and all that encompasses it. This took me a while to get the first time around, but the more I listen the more it opened itself up. A spiraling descent into ancient archaic realms that the band have no problem traversing. The bands sinks deep into the abyss as the wizardry and magic of the Dead take hold and puts the audience into a spellbinding trance. What a Dark Star. Subtle.

The musical equivalent of an earthquake. Absolute madness. Criminally underrated.

Use this as evidence if anyone says telepathy isn't real. A truly grotesque whirlwind of sound all melding together to create a cacophony of psychosis inducing schizophrenic jamming. I find it hard to truly capture the scope of this behemoth.
Weather Report Suite

Boston Garden

Check out this whole jam sequence when you have the chance. Replaying this one for my 4th of July celebrations. Best version by far.
