A rare and different tune. Real nice transition into epic Playin-UJB from Go to Nassau...

Stunned this ain't here yet. Next night is a famous one. But this 2nd set opener is strong and rugged. Nice moment at "born to be a bachelor..."

Wow! Can't believe this hasn't made the cut yet. Rips and roars out of poignant China Doll. Almost become a Smokestack... Super strong show!

DeadBase calls it a Dark Star Jam. There is not much of a hint of a Dark Star-ish melody, and the date is debatable. But everyone needs to hear this!!

Dark Star

Family Dog at the Great Highway

If this was voted greatest Dark Star ever I’d be pretty okay with that.…. Especially since “greatest ever” just leads to great debates. And granted, I can say “greatest ever” about a lot of these. But…. This should have A LOT MORE VOTES!!! Ridiculous!!!!!!

Yes. But this is still somehow a fantastic version!!!

They should’ve played this so much more!! Bruce’s piano jam bridge from Let it Grow into this is spectacular!
