Pig comes alive during this song as well as this entire show, and Jerry respond's to his energy level, as does the whole band. I love this show!

It's nearing the end of 71, Keith is on on board now; their tight and energetic, 72 here they come!

Pigs vocals and harmonica are at a high and energetic level on this version. Jerry's guitar playing is a must listen, really!

This is a high energy and very well played version of this song. Bobby is in very good form here.

Good St. Stephen, sanwiched between D.S and The Eleven. Classic Pyhicedelia in the heart of Utah!

^^^ That is a close call between this one and Lyceum. This one's a little cleaner and snappier. Both beat the Veneta version, in my opinion.

High energy version. Keith's piano playing is really good on this one and Jerry was really working that Strat.

I love the sound of that room on both the 10/12 and 10/13 versions. I think the 10/12 version, and overall show, is tighter and more energetic then the 10/13 version. This one deserves more respect, though!

I have just listened to several of my favorite Dark Stars, including the above mentioned versions. Designating any version as being the best really comes down to a subjective choice, apples and oranges. Each Dark Star has elements that may appeal to one person and repel another. As far as the Vanneta version goes, It has sonic elements that most heads really like, obviously. I like and respect most of the well played and recorded improvisational versions, like 8/27/72; I would put in my top 10, right behind Rotterdam. I do prefer the Europe 72 tour versions, 4/8 and 4/24 for sure and especially Strand lycyum. But my wheel house is the early, shorter, primal, psychedelic versions, like 10/12/68 and most of 69, especially 02/27.

^^ Yes DS67, this is right in my wheel house.Perky and "Zesty", as E5 described it.
