Great harp work from Pigpen, who's voice was still strong and full of blues: Great crunchy jamming from the band.

With the power to blast you out of your chair. Watch your dose, it's that strong.

Any question's about primal Dead? Answer's right here in the outro of this psychedelic monster. A really hard core brainmelter, this.

Has it all. Builds and builds up to a great peak with Jer and Keith playing all out behind a great Bobby performance.

Maybe I'm the only Head out there who digs this song, but damn if this isn't a beauty. Tight harmonies and a good-times feeling.

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.

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.
