Seething, edgy, hard rocking ending this one. ENERGY!

Jerry swings for the fences with his vocals at the end of this one. Sweet version

Buttery version that flows smoothly from start to finish

First ChinaCat in 3 years and the boys come out hungry with it. Crowd goes bananas

Beautiful, flowing version from an incredible show. Love this one

This one gets a bit noisy and grating for my tastes, but good to see that the boys could still get weird in the later years.

Man, this one is beyond words. Perfect weaving of Dark Star throughout the set. The tighten up jam is nothing short of miraculous. Pity there is no SBD, but the AUD copies are decent enough. This one sparkles, from end to end

This may be deemed 'blasphemy,' but to my humble ears, the Branford sits ins always bordered dangerously on dad rock/Kenny G dentist office waiting room music. Still, the core of the band is completely on point for this - Jerry's solos shine brightly, like a spotlight shown on a diamond. Phil's contributions on the low end are tasty brilliance. Branford weaves in perfectly with the tapestry of music, though the tone is a little vanilla to my ears. The jam is at its best when Jerry is going off and Branford is playing the simple back and forth background chord changes. All and all, this is brilliant, no doubt. A top shelf version, regardless of guest appearance luster. It is nice to have a point of comparison to see what the boys sound like with a variable in play. 50 minutes of incredible music with Eyes > Estimated > Dark Star. Best ever? Likely not, but incredible, no doubt

I hear you cgarces, but Branford does torch the early part of the jam before Jerry takes over. Very great version

Jerry tugging at the old heart strings with some impassioned playing
