Wicked jamming from Jerry.

Novelty of being done at MSG aside, this is a great version. Jerry reals get after it in the last minute or so.

Perfect cherry on top of a blistering first set. Vince is on fire.

Really happy I get to submit this awesome version. Jerry is brilliant on it, his fills and his solos come right out of 1974.

Flawless and energetic version. Jerry doesn't a miss a lyric or a change. Perfect start to an epic show.

My favorite part of this one is how it finds it ways back to the second verse. The first break after verse 1 gets way out there.

They did the first verse a couple of days earlier, I think. I think this is also the last time Jerry ever sang the second verse.

I've really been loving on this one lately. This is the last time where "Dark Star" really felt like an 'event' at a show, and it holds its own against others from this 1989-91 very well. Good length and stays close to the surface but still has that eeriness I love in a "Dark Star." Vince's organ work is excellent. And yea, garces is right: there are hints of "Fire on the Mountain" at the end. If only.

Should be way higher. Maybe the best Hornsby era version. If 9-19-90 and 6/6/91 can get double digit votes, this can hang with them without a second thought.

Bruce is excellent on this version. So crisp.
