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.

The Other One
Nov. 1, 1968
Silver Dollar Fair

Just have to add that this Other One has possibly the most heavy and intense playing I've ever heard, it's a must-listen
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Forgot a description, but this one is a great Garcia workout; Feeling Groovy is a stunning early version of the jam...

Kiel Auditorium

Jerry is as chill as a Popsicle, kind of song that really makes you appreciate his laid-back playing style

Adams Field House, U of Montana

maybe the highlight of the show, and that's saying something!
