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. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

This is every bit as brilliant as the night before. In fact this whole show is part of a run that is nigh on perfection. Start with 22/2/69 at the Dream Bowl and go from there. The more I listen to this period of Dead playing,the more I think it is just the best.

St. Stephen
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

One of the top 5 shows of 1969. Superb versions of each and every song. As good as anything from the Fillmore West run the following week.

This is as good as it gets. 1969 Dark Stars are in my heart just now. So many of them just get it so right. Later ones might be longer, but never better. This whole show is stellar.
