Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

From an all acoustic set. Tight harmonies on this one.

Mind fucking soundscape that takes you through some unpredictable psychedelic musical terrain. Then it makes a soft landing into M&BG, then spits you right back out into the O1 reprise and then the bittersweet comfort of Wharf Rat. Partial thanks to the Bear for this one!

The European tour O1s became psychedelic, mind blowing, soundscapes. This one is no exception. I think the version 2 days later in Amsterdam, is even more mind blowing! I think Owsley's extra strength concoction, that they took on that tour, had a lot to do with the outcome of this song, and the Dark Star's during that tour!

Thanks DS67! I'm kind of stuck in 69 right now. Must be that 50 year reunion thing!

Agreed, completely! ^ A brain fuck journey, and everyone's on board. I love this show!
Dark Star

Agreed.^ But this version is still a well played, energetic, effort. T.C is up in the mix, and on the oppisite channel of Bobby's guitar, highlighting his significant contribution on the organ. I still prefer 02/27, but I dig almost all of the Dark Stars, of this era, the most!
