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

The Music Box

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

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

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!

Winterland Arena

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

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

Nassau Coliseum

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.

Shrine Auditorium

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.
