Dark Star
March 23, 1972
Academy of Music
This is one of those nice melodic Dark Stars. It would have more votes if it were more widely available, but it's from the rare rare rare Rockin' the Rhein with the Grateful Dead Bonus Disc, so not much exposure. If you're looking for Dark Stars to add to your collection, you'll want to stop here for a classic 1972 rendering. Reminds me of 4-8-72, 10-31-71, and 2-2-70. Come to think of it, the entire Bonus Disc is blissful: Playing in the Band (no Donna), Sugar Magnolia, Caution, Jam, Uncle John's Band, Dark Star.
