The most psychedelic and lysergic Dark Star of the year. It's blasphemous that it's not listed here

The transition into He's Gone is just lovely

While I'm tiping this I'm listening to the 6/7/77 version which currently has only 4 votes, and in my opinion deserves to be as high a this version, if not higher. I don't think this version is overrated, the thing is that every other may 77 version is just underrated because they are very similar although they are consistently great

Doesn't particularly shine over any other may 77 performance of the song (they were all above average, but otherwise I don't see what it's doing in first place)
