Wickedly jazzy and powerful; not as wild as 8/27, but it can hardly be faulted for that!

Amazingly hot; Jerry and Keith kick things up a notch about halfway thru the jam and it never lets up!

Tight, jazzy and a little freaky too. An underappreciated highlight of a great show.

Two from the Vault. Sharp and energetic. For its time, Garcia and Lesh hit a new level on this one .

A beautiful MLB jam followed by some of the freakest DS space you'll ever hear. Careful around this one...

BEST of '73!! after the Phil solo Keith launches them into one of the craziest jams ever. First time I heard this I fell out of my seat!

Sorry this is hands down better than Veneta in my book! My all-time favorite Dark Star - the most utterly sublime MLB jam ever!!
