It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this one. the playing and vocal harmonies are on the money.

The steel guitar, which I assume Jerry is playing, really helps to make this early version a good one.

Playin' In The Band
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

One of the tightest, dynamic and best mixed Playin, possibly ever. Bobby's feeling every little move that Jerry was making, this was some stellar guitar playing; really exeptional playing by every body! The vocals have been better, but still solid. Billy's tom toms where tuned kind of loose during Feburary of that year, as in the Pershing Auditorim concert; another great show from that month. Overall though, this is a must listen version.
Dark Star
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West

This is classic 69 psychedelia right here! The only problem I have with this one, as well as other recordings from 69, is that T.C and Bobby share the same channel. This makes it hard to pick out their individual contributions. Otherwise, this is a great Dark Star.
The Other One
Nov. 8, 1969
Fillmore West

A cyclone comming out of a high energy Dark Star. This is a phycidelic storm erupting!

This one goes in a lot of different directions, including the MLB jam in middle. As you say, Ernie, T.C really shines here. Then they transition into a groovy Jam then outro into The Other One. Trouble ahead for the boys but on this night, no worrys!
Stella Blue

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This is delivered at the perfect emotional level for this song, especially Jerrys solo before the outro into a sublime jam that transitions into Playing in the Band. This is must listening, my fellow heads!
