Hits a great groove early on, with some cool interplay before the first verse.

If you like some of Jerry's guitar effects from early versions of "Dark Star," give this a listen! Short but sweet.

Cool transition from "Space," and the organ in the intro is hot. Leads into a smoking "Watchtower"

Dark Star
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

There is not a single song in this entire show that is not outstanding. One of the best shows I've yet heard. This "DS" is amazing, and it's a bright star in the blinding firmament of the concert. Pick any song from this show, you won't regret it.

The only time all show I thought they were running out of steam, and even then, it's a superior version.

Hey Madcap, I saw something to that effect on a "Weir Here" video that was partially shilling for the May '77 box set. That was the first I've heard of it (joking that the show was so popular it never actually happened), so if anyone else can walk it back further, let me know!
