BEST of the early Dark Stars? You decide. Gorgeous melodies, epic flow. A lot packed into only 10 minutes...

Not a very crisp SB, but really electric, emotional jamming from Jerry. An underappreciated version.

Most amazing Let It Grow climax I've ever heard; Jerry and Phil really going to town. Also a wild Billy-driven fusion jam into Wharf Rat.

KILLER ultra-jazzy jams from Garcia. An all around classic show.

Great rec, this version definitely kicks major ass. One of my favorite '78s.

This is the infamous "Washoe zephyr" show but they are definitely ON for this number!!! Like Keith's piano work going into the jam and Garcia is just burning as brightly as that headlight...
