Listed as a Dark Star, but the last 4 minutes of this are solidly similar to a Mind Left Body, kinda similar groove. You'll love this one!

Dark Star

Wembley Empire Pool

Probably, in my opinion the best of Europe '72.. But man, when not picking and choosing "bests" and trying to compete them together with opinions.. All heads would agree that this is an amazing version. Absolutely mind blowing. Love it, everything about this version is absolute f*cking perfect.

Listened to this driving through the Mojave Desert in the middle of the night. Blew my mind. Insane version. Probably the best later version ever.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Olympia Theater

I've heard so many versions of China-Rider, this one always stands out the most for me. The transition between the two is just so tightly packed and shows the band working together perfectly.. Jerry's tone is absolutely perfect too. Love this version for sure.
