Outrageous version. Takes a second to get the mix dialed in, but man they blow the roof off. This has to be one of the best Wall of Sound shows.

Jerry is so high on heroin in this... he sounds so out of it, especially when he's singing. Really sad. Imagine what this dark star could have been.

They do the last verse on this dark star! Never heard them do that on any 72 versions. Also, they released this Dark Star as an album in itself called Dark Star. This DS is criminally underrated, easily one of the best of E72.

Man this dark star is totally weird and epic. Insanely psychedelic, probably my favorite of 74. I agree with grendal, the DaP 13 quality is incredible. Edit: This is definitely my favorite 74 show. Holy crap it is so tight, Jerry and phil on fire the whole night.
