U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Oct. 16, 1974
Winterland Arena

An overlooked version because of the famous movie version from the 19th October, but good and on the money.

William and Mary College Hall

They really groove on the outro vocals-no shrieking,just driving on and on. Not at the top but a VG 78 version

Bird Song
Oct. 21, 1972
Vanderbilt University

I Think that from August 72 to the end of 1972 the Bird Songs are just sooo good. This one comes from a show of which only 6 songs seem to survive. Worth a listen.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

Agree.The studio version is probably the best version of this song, but this is next and from a Brilliant show-worth listening to the lot-a great D.S and Mountains of the Moon. Brilliant
Hurts Me Too
March 28, 1972
Academy of Music

This is so good. A 9 minute feast of GD Blues. As good as the Strand performance
Stella Blue
Dec. 11, 1972
Winterland Arena

Coming out of A REALLY Great Dark Star, beautifully paced(not too slow) well sung-[Jerry's voice in 72 was so sweet ]and delicately played by all. Love & Metta CB
Dark Star
Dec. 11, 1972
Winterland Arena

Listening to this as I just came across the late December shows from Winterland. Although the sound is patchy(in and out of Soundboards & AUD, what a great Dark Star. Jazzy but directed. The boys stay with it the whole way-no getting lost. It fairly sprints along as well. I could easily mistake this for a 73 DS. Brilliant! Love & Metta .CB
