Part of a rare double encore, this version has great energy and bounce. The Brokedown to follow is nice as well. Check out the Oade Brothers AUD.

Seattle Center Coliseum

Really cool pre-drums jam in this version. Almost sounds like they are about to go into I Know You Rider.

It's a fine version and all but the cool little Jerry noodle just before Drums is the real reason to seek this version out.

Nice plucky playing from Jerry in that solo.

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

Thelma Theater

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.
