2nd ever in a triple Dark Star sandwich. Choral singing, not fully developed but part of some of the best damned Dead you'll ever hear. Believe me.

Acoustic version, beautiful and tight. Don't miss the acoustic set in the rush to the late show.

Energetic and tight with great harmonies and strong soloing.

Damned strong version building up nicely to the towering triumph, "you've done better by me than I've done by you". Strong stuff.

Paramount Theatre

Bursting energy ending the 1st set in blazing glory. The shout chorus is outrageously hot. Has to be one of Donna's best nights ever.

45 years ago today... just noticed that. Loooove the archive/time machine. Peace, friends, and give a thought to our veteran brothers and sisters out there today.

If you like this, then check out 09 November 1970. In spite of being a very rough AUD, it does show off the electric funky Elem.

C- AUD quality for completists only.

Mountain Jam "discussed" between 06:40 and approx 07:30. Right there on the surface, just blistering to come out in the open. This is a perfect show all around.
Dark Star
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Everything said supra: pre-verse is possibly the prettiest Dark Star out there. The verse sung beautifully. The crowd is keyed in - listen to the whole run and this show to know just how rowdy and aggressive they were - and coalesces around the hyperspace jump into the post-verse exploration by hushing the lone doubter. What comes next is mind-ripping and hard; don't use this to convince your dead-doubting partner to get on the bus. But then light. The darkness clears and we're home free... A Main Ten brings order back to the spacial consciousness. All this in 16 minutes of music.
