20 minutes of Dark Star, and the only lyrics you get are Me and My Uncle ;^)

Speedy, bouncy version - even the drummers get off on this one.

Fillmore West

This Bee growls - must be why it's the King.

Good Lovin'

Olympia Theater

Long and wandering, but it finds a lot of interesting places along the way. Pig also manages to talk about cars and make it sound filthy. Bonus.

Beautiful weirdness here - Even the 'Outer Limits' space spookiness is intriguing.

That Tighten-up is porno-tastic.

I just listened to this 4 times in a row. My brain is pudding. Happy pudding.

On archive.org, click 'other copies' and go with the Ken and Judy Lee version.

This one is kinda unbalanced, somehow...the first 20 to 25 minutes just don't grab my attention - it isn't 'bad' by any stretch, it just does nothing for me...but that last 10 minutes or so makes up for it. Saying that there's a Philo Stomp and a double-time Feelin' Groovy in there actually sells this section of jam short. It's more than that, somehow - again, just can't really put my finger on it, but the tail end of this version is worth ingesting.
