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.
