Great vocals from Bobby (minus the ending of this song, which is, you know lol) Solid one

This here's kinda a get-down song, I must admit.

Bouncy little Minglewood. Some neat runs by Garcia. His tone is interesting.

Dark Star
Oct. 18, 1974
Winterland Arena

Six years into listening to this tune played at different venues across every year and I don't know that I've heard a Dark Star that is bigger or more grand than this one. Those first 7 minutes or so are truly something otherworldly. Every other factor aside (I'm not saying this is the best DS), this one, for me, takes the cake in specific terms of "bigness." This one is gargantuan. No, I don't have anything quantifiable to back this up. Just a feeling. Utterly conjectural. I like how MiTfan3^ says it feels like the last one. It does. In fact, it starts to feel like the last thing. Ever.

One of the best. The coolest part is when Keith starts laying down that insanely jazzy riff about 8 minutes in so delicately. Wonderful

Donna on them vocals :D
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Excellent Scarlet, quintessential fire, hypnotically powerful stuff from Donna & Garcia in the transition. An essential Scarlet Fire to be sure.
Friend of the Devil
Aug. 25, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Oh wow oh wow. This may be my new favorite. It has every little thing I could ask for. Keith comes in beautifully. Weir is inspired. Garcia sounds great. Country rocking stuff. What a good one. BIG upvote!!!
