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.

Dark Star

Public Hall

Demented is the word to describe this mammoth of a dark star. It's creeps into your mind and takes you through dark spaces. It's not for everyone, I can easily see that, but in the right state of mind it will shatter your brain into little pieces, It will take you everywhere you need to go and places you never dared to enter before (and likely will never visit again)

I just casualy listening to the Road Trips bonus disc when suddenly a wild Mind Left Body jam appeared when I was not expecting it.

The dark star before this takes you to dark places and makes you believe you'll never see sunshine again, until you hear the Eyes of the World chords, that is, and the world is filled with light once again

Heard this while going to work today, left a smile on my face that lasted the whole day.
