Ramble On Rose

Easttown Theatre

This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Feb. 4, 1969
The Music Box

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

The Eleven

The Music Box

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Truckin'

Winterland Arena

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

The Other One

Winterland Arena

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

Turn On Your Love Light
April 27, 1969
Labor Temple

I don't claim to be the Heady Version Police, but this is way, way, to low on votes, and that's just plane wrong! Yes, Pig's doing more singing then talking. But this is an energetc instermental bomb, cyclone. Just listen!

Labor Temple

Jerry's guitar phrasing on this version is as good as it got for this song; inventive and inspired. This is just one of the reasons this may be my favorite Dark Star, and that's saying something. If you have'nt listened to this version, or the whole show for that matter, do so now! The transition into the eleven is seemless then mind blowing! It's on Dicks Picks 26, maybe there are other options.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 23, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

The Miller source was the way to go, thanks DS67. This show went from unlistenable to prestene! This China Rider was a Phil showcase for sure, as was the whole show. This one deserves more attention. I've been listening to this whole show, it's a real gem!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 27, 1971
Fillmore East

Clean and crip version with single kit precision. Good find, DS67!
Morning Dew
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Pig on Organ, Jerry deliverng the most emotive lyric and everyone else doing exactly what they needed to do, makes this, arguably, the greatest version of this song.
