As is typical of this era of the band, Keith totally owns this version. I can't get enough of just how tasty his piano fills are here.

Opens set two with energy. Keith and Jerry duel it out the whole way through the song.

Love versions of this track from 72 and 73, and this one's no exception. Keith's piano is great, Jerry's playing with gusto, everyone's locked in.

Keith's gentle keys add SO much to this version - a very emotive rendition, just as it should be

A big showcase for Jerry's vocals - he's nice and aggressive here. Keith and Billy sound great as well backing him.

Makes me cry like a baby every time I hear it. Chills down my spine - a flawless performance by Jerry, and as emotional and heartfelt as a Dead performance ever got. The cherry on top of the last truly incredible show.

Best-ever, in my book. This one's got all the right kinds of drama and tension that the track should have. A great opener to a great show.

Always liked Brent's keys on this version - he really carries it, and this track's one of the highlights of this show because of his playing.

My number two version! A furious version from one of their all-time great shows, and sets the tone for the whole night.

Beautiful, terrifying, and nothing short of nightmare fuel for those brave enough to give it a listen. I've never heard a scarier Dark Star in my life, but I love it nonetheless.
