Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

An explosive reading of the tune. Maybe Billy had an inkling beforehand and just wanted to be sure ya'll knew it was still a cowboy number.

A very nice 'lush' version nominated in the ongoing attempt to evaluate all of Dick's picks.

Proud and upstanding part of a great sequence. Phil is at the top of his game in one of his greatest of bass-playing years.

County Coliseum

This is most notable, I'd say, for the absolutely nuclear bomb that Phil drops during the 'Space' portion. Play it loud on a big rig!

Not sure if Harpur gets as high, peakwise, as this one.

Should of said somewhere that this one has no singing and is just enough of a jam on the main theme that it's called an Other One Jam>Spanish Jam on disc one of DP12. But after listening some more, it seems like it really might be a TOO>Spanish Jam>TOO sandwich. If some great Dark Stars (Miami '74, Dec. '71 Felt Forum, etc.) can go without singing, then so can this TOO. How many TOOs went without singing?
