Dark Star

Family Dog at the Great Highway

If this was voted greatest Dark Star ever I’d be pretty okay with that.…. Especially since “greatest ever” just leads to great debates. And granted, I can say “greatest ever” about a lot of these. But…. This should have A LOT MORE VOTES!!! Ridiculous!!!!!!

They should’ve played this so much more!! Bruce’s piano jam bridge from Let it Grow into this is spectacular!
