Jerry and Pigpen sing together in this one, and they brought the passion!

High intensity, coming in hot after a hot Caboose jam.

Powerful version. The vocal entrance at the end brings the house down, you can tell they're having fun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gjjkcVIoys

Bob goes for it in the rap and Garcia smiles a bit. A fun latter day version, though it never jams out like mad. Video of it here! https://www.youtube

Not Fade Away

West High Auditorium

I liked this, a different but very cool NFA. Are there any other cool early Brent NFAs that stand out like this one?

I believe the riff he quotes is the bass line from "Greensleeves": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK265pszTvA There is a "Coltrane and the Dead" post in the deadessays blog, it's definitely an interesting read. Glad you liked the Dark Star darkstar, haha!

They should have kept it i feel, they could've taken it to another level with the jazz they would incorporate in '73-'74. A neat little nugget, from a good show.
Dark Star
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

Overlooked, this is one of the most engaging Dark Stars of late '72, with Lesh quoting the Clementine riff from 1/26/1969 (it sounds familiar, Miles Davis maybe?) segueing into a proto-WRS interlude. Intricate and very comforting, a top shelf Dark Star.

The out of tune guitar from Garcia is here is.. horrendous, to say the least.
