Keith stands out on this crystalline version. A stunning performance as the band is completely in synch with each other. Watch out for that solo too.

Lovely version with a really great Keith solo, Jerry’s solo right after is equally as moving. Don’t miss this one.

Played with a real sense of urgency. Bobby growls away as Jerry explores a new approach to his soloing. This is a scorcher.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Paramount Theatre

Jerry plays away his sorrows on top of the rhythm devil’s swinging beats. Sweet as can be with some real magical energy here.

First ever in a China>Rider pairing. Makes for some wonderful music to start off this stellar show.

Turn On Your Love Light

Where has this been hiding all this time? Some funky and creative rhythmic lines from Bobby make the first jam. Pigpen is a man possessed. Imagine the band if Pipgpen were healthy post Europe 72? Imagine the fall 72 Lovelight jams and Good Lovin’s. Enough of the daydreams, this version is guaranteed to have you stomping your feet in no time. Funky and full of power. The jams are where it’s at. Get ready for a locomotive journey. Pigpen feels good ladies and gentlemen and we all reap the benefits of such a momentous occasion.
The Other One

Palace Theater

Not as bad of a Cryptical as some may say. Sloppy? Yes. Forgets the words? You bet, but does it sound horrible? Far from it. If you used a Geiger Counter on this it’s numbers would be off the charts. Area 51 jamming that takes you deep. Super cool version from an already great year.

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Came across this show randomly, and definitely not bad for 84 by any means! Cool ideas from Jerry, definitely not perfect but I love that they actually let some unique creative ideas fly out and soar and let it all hang loose.

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

Stunningly epic, that second jams will have me coming back again, and again, and again, and…you get the picture. Super cool meltdown with a very early tiger jam. Seriously the jam after is some heady stuff. Jerry chugs and slashes his guitar signaling the transition into another space which is primal and ferocious in nature. Cool witchy moments too. Love this Dark Star and this show.

Takes you right to church. Brent is preaching to the almighty, and his contributions are incredible and add some new layers to this ever changing music. Especially from 79-81 there was a ferocity in his playing that was so unique. His organ work is unbeaten. Great version.
