Kings Beach Bowl

Dick's Picks 22 version, Lake Tahoe. Smooth as silk. Jerry plays fast and with a great tone. VERY fluid.

Autzen Stadium

Very hot. Long, jammed-out ending. Great stuff from Summer '90

Gimme Some Lovin'
June 15, 1985
Greek Theater

The entire show is PERFECTION, but you've got to hear the transition from Wheel into Gimme Some Lovin. They just nail it. Best version ever

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 5, 1970
Fillmore West

Very mellow version, almost an Island feel. A long, slow, jammed-out version. Tasty leads from Garcia. Electric with an acoustic feel.

Madison Square Garden

A "Perfect" version. Drums, vocals, guitar leads, bass... everyone is on-point!

I like the way they never really fully realize the UJB jam in this one, but instead just dance around it, dipping in and out of the theme, but never going overboard. Understated, underrated.

Musikhalle

A truly under-rated show. Every time I listen to this one, I enjoy it. Solid through and through.

They're all so good. Every Europe '72 Dark Star should be on this list? You know what would be a challenge? Finding the WORST Europe '72 Dark Star. Which one is it? ^_^

Best Dark Star from the Europe '72 tour. A Top Five Dark Star of All-Time. Ending jam into Sugar Magnolia is scary at times.
