A Keith-heavy version with a tight groove and a full sound. Love these early versions!

This one's somehow not on here? The classic opener to Dick's Picks 35, and a MONSTER of a version.

Simply beautiful. A gorgeous version of a gorgeous song. Jerry's solo is particularly powerful.

Entitled "Silver Apples of the Moon" on Infrared Roses - it's a Bruce and Vince duet that beautifully segues into "Dark Star"

The DRUMMERS...holy hell! They help elevate this peppy version. Great guitar work too - a highlight of the first set!

Keith and Jerry go NUTS. Best-ever, in my book.

Brent blowing minds with his solo. An awesome version from an awesome show.

This one is AMAZING - off the rails in its energy level. The band explodes in the kind of fury that makes tracks like this special.

The best ever, in my opinion. It absolutely scorches. Jerry's soloing is manic, but don't count out Brent's keys - they're just as responsible for how epic this one is.
