Out of China Cat, incorrectly listed on Dick's Picks 12 as "Mind Left Body Jam" is actually a Feelin' Groovy jam. Absolutely wonderful.

I can't believe this version isn't here. So emotive, Jerry's voice is unlike anything I've heard, gives me the chills every time. Just beautiful.

Love the mellowness of this show, most of the songs are played at a slower tempo.

Must be my favourite standalone scarlet, you can how it's starts to morph into the monster that became in 77
Dark Star
Oct. 19, 1973
Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

The Dew that follows is sick but this Dark Star is one of the few that does nothing for me. I wanted to like this version, but I just can't. Yes, it's jazzy and contemplative and really pretty but just when they were reaching their peak during the MLB jam the mess up completely, which ruins the version for me, it's really sad because other than that is a pretty great version :(
