Great version out of a nice Bird Song that suffers due to only an audience recording existing. Still definitely worth the listen though

Some of the best Bobby vocals I've ever heard. Sounds fan-freakin-tastic on the latest Dave's Picks

This is an awesome short version with Wolf. Tone sounds incredible here, definitely one of the better ones from ‘73
Wharf Rat
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle

The transition out of the mammoth Dark Star is phenomenal. Probably the best I’ve ever heard as they go into the DS theme right toward the end and it melts into this tremendous Wharf Rat. Greatest tour of all-time. And the outro into Sugar Mags is soooooo dreamy it feels Like floating in clouds.
The Other One

Beat Club

Hidden gem from this tour. So many incredible performances from more complete shows, this one has gotten lost for me but i'm glad to have rediscovered. Full of energy for a lot of the time, and like someone else said the post-2nd verse jam is sublime. Check this one out
