Only 1969 audience recording not the greatest quality but the performance is magical, wicked psychedelic, loads of organ and jerry's guitar both hi

Audio quality is the only thing that holds this one down. Get some headphones and imagine where this should be on the list.

Surprised this version is not on the list the classic Live Dead sequence all very well played. This 20 min. DS has a short early Feeling Groovy Jam.

Snack sized Star but some very tight and crisp guitar work from Jerry. This star is a gem.

The most psychedelic and lysergic Dark Star of the year. It's blasphemous that it's not listed here

this darkstar is not well known and overshadowed by what happens the next two nights, but don't let it fool you. only verse 1 but nice flow

2nd to last at this one of the better 94 shows. Interesting version with Jerry using that twangier newer guitar.

this one was prompted by hornsby after jerry leaves stage for drums, then returns when the darkstar becomes undeniable

Succinct and powerful. A nice '68 set starting (!) with Dark Star and Stephen. Mellow.
