Kind of a humorous version makes it worth a listen. Includes lots of animal noises

Not bad! The mid song jam is very nice.

Splendid version, Jerry takes his time with the solo to make sure every note is perfect.

A rare UJB > PITB > UJB sandwich. Not the most extended jam ever but the segues are slick.

Dark Star
Dec. 11, 1969
Thelma Theater

This is a very well played Dark Star. Has everything a Star from '69 should have; swirling psychedelia and gorgeous improv, nicely compacted into a tight 20 minute version.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Loving this Dark Star from Dave's Picks 30. All sorts of subtleties to catch in this one. Around the 22 minute mark you can hear a Sugar Magnolia jam that's pretty cool. The first one wouldn't have been played till June of the same year.
Black Peter
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

These early Black Peters' always seem a little too slow and plodding to me. This version is no different. I would imagine this sucked the life out of the room for those that were there.
Mason's Children

Fillmore East (Late Show)

This version slays
Might As Well

Beacon Theatre

Jerry's solo is very authoritative. Energetic and punchy version.
