Jerry's solo during this is one of the highlights of his career. An incredibly brilliant deal.

Pure shredding by Jerry. This is one of the fastest eyes I have ever heard. This is one coked out eyes, blazing, killer version.

Friend of the Devil

Needs more votes now! This FOTD is americana at its finest.
Dark Star
Sept. 21, 1972
The Spectrum

Breathtaking, and obscenely wonderful. The descent into the bluegrass jam into Morning Dew, is beyond extraordinary. This, is the show for me. Everything about it, and it might just be that DP 36 is my favorite Dick Pick of all time. Although, it is subjective I must say this is a deserving top 5 Dark Star.
Dark Star
May 15, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Garces, were in agreement here. 1970, for me is one of the pinnacle years of Grateful Dead's psychedelia. This show exemplifies many reasons in which I always come back to this year, and love it every time. This Dark Star is tremendous, and should be heard by all who "get" what this band is all about.
Let It Grow
April 18, 1987
Irvine Meadows

This is a strong version.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Dec. 3, 1981
Dane County Coliseum

Something was in the water this night.... Ethereal Black Peter that is one of the best ever, in the same show and set as this encore Baby Blue. Are you kidding me, what a great way to end this set. Whole show is underrated.
