Check out the totally mad vocals. Someone's belting it out, and it ain't Donna! Out of a killer Dark Star.

A long deep ride: Inter-stellar collectivity with deep-space weirdness after 1st chorus.

Beautiful ensemble playing. Jerry and Donna harmonise nicely.

The boys push behind Bobby like the posse chasing the narrator of the song. You can hear the hoofbeats. Excellent.

Soaring. Jerry and Phil in collective consciousness. My version is marred by a rough AUD patch though.

Fans of psychedelicore and hard core scary-ride Dead that shoots you out of a cannon, blows you to pieces, then brings you back in to land maybe just a little shook up by it all will love this one. Should rate much higher here.

Melodic, adventurous, and straight forward. Beautiful spontaneous composition and development of the DS theme, without going into wild interstellar space or melting down. Just lovely.

Needs a lot more love. If there were no other recordings of the Grateful Dead except this MM-DS-SS-11 segment, they'd still be known as the best jamming band of the age.

Thanks Dude420. Them's kind words. This one is really solid. I always felt that "serious" heads had some weird chip on their shoulders about St. Stevie. Why? 'Cause they dropped it or cause Jerry didn't want to play it? Cause we held signs asking for it and never got it? So what! This is what pinned me to the wall at the tender heady age of twelve and got me counting the months before I could catch 'em live. Was that in the Aoxomoxoa era? Hell no, but thanx to the archive, I can get it now. This is killer Dead, hardcore psychedelic nobullschittgetonthebusorgetoffthebuslieonthefloorandtryandholdon dangerdead.
