Great version of this song, percision and energy.

This is a murky recording but a solid version of DW. Jerry was laying down some nice "twangy" country licks on this one.

Incredibly energetic version, Bobby is at his best on this one. This was from a Fillmore East show, how could it not have been submited.

Yes, this is a Jazzy, up tempo version. Phil and Billy where really driving this along, then transitioned into Cumberland, smoothly. Very nice.

This one is slow and meandering. It never seems to establish a solid motif or a groove. Billy is doing some interesting Jazz style drumming and Keith's electric piano adds a nice touch. This being their, supposed, last show, I would think it would have been more energized. Overall it's just not my favorite.

This is a good 68 version for sure. I don't think it has the fire that the DS from the previous night had.

They where really starting to play with DS at this show. Phil is really driving this thing, and everyone is hanging on. Jerry is in especially good form One of the best of 68, for sure..

Civic Auditorium

Their first Dark Star of 69, crisp and confident. Bobby was doing some nice interplay with Jerry toward the end. One of the drummers bass drum was out of tune. other then that, it was a good version.
