while the comparison of the "Dead", Allman Bros, and Fleetwood Mac is valid (see Rattlesnake Shake/Madge/Underway) this has little to do with "The End Of The Game"
I really think you have to look in reference to Miles Davis of that period and Pharoah Sanders to see where the session was going. You might also look to the things he was attempting publicly at the same time

Heavy Heart, Beast of Burden, No Way Out, and I don't remember the fourth song of the two singles released. In a prior thread there is a Youtube link to one of these songs done on TV
