Like the Jack Straw earlier, they take a slower deliberate pace to create a new vibe. Here you can hear them jam with over the sound of a train. Cool.

Strange, almost experimentally slower version with some problems, but different guitar lines. Almost a novelty.

Anthemic version with great chorus vocals. Could be the closing music for a great western movie.

The transition jam back to NFA is one of the trippiest, dreamy, paintbrushes of sound ones I know.

Our boys give in to the heckler and rip out a classic Truckin' here. Great rock and roll here with a punchy, aggressive vibe and great soloing.

Dark Star
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

August '72 is bursting with enormous Dark Stars, but I think this one does it for me. Its arc, its explosiveness and deep explorations all seem well balanced between chaos and order, darkness and light, reflections and the formlessness of matter....

Still streamable (and worth every second) from the good folks at the Clubhouse Projects: http://www.gratefuldeadprojects.com/Dark_Star.html Enjoy, it's a beauty.
Attics of My Life

Capitol Theatre

Two 'Attics' from this date. Show starts with an acoustic set and a lovely version. Then this one comes within a great Dark Star.

Something in the water there in Copenhagen, but the Dead must have loved it, 'cause the whole show rocks. They go all out here and the result is one of the most beautiful Dark Stars ever.

The Apotheosis. They perfected it, so why go any higher? Always wondered why HCS got pulled after it became such an enormous vehicle, maybe it just couldn't get better and they stopped on the high note rather than let it get stale? Thankfully we've got the Archive so we can share the love all these years later.
