Dark Star
Dec. 11, 1972
Winterland Arena

I listened to every Dark Star and blogged it....when people ask what's a largely unknown version everyone should know, this is my #1 answer
Truckin'

Oklahoma City Music Hall

Shortish and laid back, but wonderful guitar on outro

#MeToo

Oklahoma City Music Hall

This may be the best of the year, and certainly the best to date. In some ways the song doesn't take off until 1973--Garcia is sometimes more tentative, and not that loud, but here the Alligator is in overdrive, both literally and figuratively....
