cool post about your dad. Yes DP2 is amazing. I recall making my way through that dark star years ago and considering it an accomplishment. I wasnt really moved. I now listen to it and think god how did i not get it!?!?! it is really epic. Does anyone know what the jam is that is played later like around 10 minutes into the dark star? I heard it during 1971-11-07 as well. I feel like ive heard it before, like its someone else's song that they found their way into and jammed on it.

Any thoughts?

Just in case you haven’t seen these already, here are two links to light into ashes great write-ups on the subject:

I think the jam on DP2 is a Tighten Up jam. Not sure about what you are referring to in the 11/7/71 Harding Theatre version, but I’ll give it another listen.
