Great version of this song, percision and energy.

This is a murky recording but a solid version of DW. Jerry was laying down some nice "twangy" country licks on this one.

Incredibly energetic version, Bobby is at his best on this one. This was from a Fillmore East show, how could it not have been submited.

After listening to dozens of DS versions I still prefer the trippy versions, like this one.

The best free jazz segment that I've heard in a Dark Star. With Branford and, I assume Bruce Hornsby, the musicianship was at a very high level. A very good late Star.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

This is an exceptional version of D.S, as is the entire show. I was 19 years old when this show was performed, living about an hour away from this venue. I wish I would have gone to this show but I have no memory of it being advertised. I saw many good shows in that venue throughout the 70s. It was obviously a venue that suited them well. The only problem that I have is, Billy's tom - toms where out of tune. He was playing great though, as was everyone.

That is a good description of this show, Corral Sand Below, it is sharp and energetic for a 1968 DS.

This one is complex for 69. Lots of varied sounds coming out of Jerry's guitar. It's very dynamic and almost aggressive at times. A gem, for sure.
