Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

Dark Star
Feb. 14, 1970
Fillmore East

"there's nothing stranger than coming to New York", Garcia intones before counting off this wack job dark star. Post-verse jam is pretty mind blowingly reductionist, you can hear the pin-drop silence of fillmore east at several points. This is a version thats totally on the fringes. Then they come roaring back, Weir masterclass. Unique version for sure, one to add to your list! Gets overshadowed by the fireworks of 2/13 but this one is freakier
