This magnificent monster could easily be near the top for '71. The show has electrical problems in 1st set, but not here. Listen to it.

Show has a metallic twangy sound, to great effect here: turns this sweet tune into a hot industrial number.

Goes into a "The Main Ten" jam at 3:05 typical of the first month or so with Keith. Plus Phil is going bananas back there.

Jerry's bites down like an acid crocodile. Hot electric wires and sharp as a tack phrasing....

Listen past a few sound and static issues and you have a real beaut of a cruiser here. A solid doo-wop pulse gives it a different flavor too.a

This is a stellar version, and should be much higher than 2 votes!

Donnie is right. This is liquid fire from start to finish. Parts of this show have air-play precision, note-by-note perfection and total balance. The BEW in the first set does. This closer JBG does too.

Part of a beautiful and mysterious suite. Truckin'>Jam>Dark Star>Morning Dew. The Dew comes blazing out of the funny, understated Star and captures the power and the beauty.

An inside-out Dark Star, starting with the beautiful, inspired jam out of Truckin' and hitting the lyrics almost as a side-event on the way to Morning Dew. Definitely listen from Truckin' forward, rather than starting on the track listing. Wonderful stuff.
