I hope someone responds to this. I never was a Deadhead but tripped a lot
during the days the album with Darkstar came out. That was the only track
of theirs that I ever really got into (or got into me). I can't imagine
what Branford would do with this one but am quite interested, especially
considering his cover of Coltrane's Love Supreme on the Red Hot + Cool
bonus CD. It was that track, heard on the radio, that got me to searching
for it's source, leading to the Red Hot + Cool CD, on which I found all
this great stuff I'd been wanting to hear. Couldn't find that much on my
own, then came across this list...
