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.

Philadelphia Civic Center

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.

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!!
