One of the better Box of Rain,well sung nicely played. Cos the vocals are so important to this song I would wish others to hear it and vote it up.

Dark Star
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

This show is one of my all time favourites From start to end. It just flows in and out and around. Spacey, but never lost in space. This week in 1969 produces some amazing shows and very special Dark Stars. Each one a journey into your own inner space. No wonder we struggle to find our own "best ever" versions of D.S, let alone what might work for someone else. If you can, give this show a whirl. Dream away at the Dream Bowl.

The Other One

Century II Convention Hall

This deserves to be so much higher. Jazz rock genius, Mr Keith Godchaux! With the DP's mix listen to his playing, not just on this but Truckin', He's Gone. Go run and see.!
