Fillmore East

Great version from the fall of 1970 with some intense Phil, wah usage from Jerry, and energetic jamming. Definitely underrated

How is this not already here? The last two minutes of a 31min Dark Star, has to be the fastest, most energetic rendition. Leads into Dew!

I think this is my favorite of the tour. Jerry’s first time singing on it, including some slightly-different lyrics, really standout+unique riffing from Jerry compared to other versions at the time, Bobby’s yell as the second solo kicks off. The final measure of the solo just before “jack straw from witchita cut his buddy down” is just SO good

Cool version, semi-unique arrangement. Nice Bobby solo too

Lots of nice interplay here. Great contributions from everyone without any overindulgence. Great laid-back version
