Wedged in a energetic psychdelic explosion,this Merle Haggard classic provides a contrast in mood and direction. Jerry's twanging it up!

Mystery Dew! I don't think this was played during this show. Listen on the Glassberg/Miller on the archive.

If you like this song. even a little bit, you have to listen to this version! For my money this is as good as this song gets!

A crisp, cooking Allligator that was somehow missed. It transitions into Drums, then a t 11, tease, jam then the 11.

The Other One

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!

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!
