Great version from one of the hottest shows the boys ever played.When Bobby introduces the opening number by saying it is a fox trot and ladies choice only for the band to launch into Dark Star you know you are in for a hell of a ride!

Don't know if this is the "best" version ever but the La Bamba in the sandwhich does make it special.
