Dick's ReviewThat’s it for the other one is short but quite exciting which surprised my failing memory. Good Lovin' also is pretty exciting. Dark Star is again a surprise, outrageous (I can’t imagine how the locals handled this!) There seems to be a jam section within Dark Star that really burns your wires and might be the highlight of the show. After the apparent re-entry to Dark Star, there is a section that is another of my all-time favorites and it lasts fairly long. Actually, this whole section might more easily be called a jam section since there are quite a few treats here. Saint Stephen has to be the biggest surprise. I can hardly believe it has taken me this many years to take notice of what appears to be heading toward a Thunder Skull Award. Not Fade Away is also pretty exciting at least as exciting as most versions from this period. I have to give this show my highest award. I only wish we could hear the real Turn On Your Lovelight.
