Man does this version have a good bounce to it. I would put this version up against any version from the 80's.

This version doesn't quit. Jerry's solo is relentless

Check out the really groovy pre-drums jam that comes out of this UJB.

Great swing to this version. Excellent Brent and Jerry solos. A gem of a show from an odd tour.

Nice plucky playing from Jerry in that solo.

This version is all about the sweet Spanish jam segue into drums. Dope!

Very unique version with a hard driving and intense jam after the William Tell lyrics. Surprised not to see this one higher up in the list.

This is a very well played Dark Star. Has everything a Star from '69 should have; swirling psychedelia and gorgeous improv, nicely compacted into a tight 20 minute version.
