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
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Any Dark Star with a Main Ten is a 5 star Dark Star. The surge into Dancin' is ridiculous. This entire show is classic and amazing. The first half of the electric set, as Carrion Crow says in another post, is pure Garage Band Rock at it's rawest and absolute best.
