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.

The Other One
May 10, 1972
Concertgebouw

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!

Olympia Theater

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
March 2, 1969
Fillmore West

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!
