One of the craziest, spaciest, and wacky versions you’ll ever hear

The final version from an epic China>Rider. Doesn’t get any better

One of the best versions of this song that Jerry did. There seems to be 2 guitar players on this track. Anyone have any info on that?

Kevin Tobin just put out a nice video of this Garcia/Kahn show with great audio. I didn’t know they played this one as a duo. Great version!

Surprised this version isn’t on here. Bobby’s vocals and playing are great, and Brent’s verse and solo really make this a top tier version

I know some don’t like a Dark Star>El Paso, but I love them. It was only something the Dead could do. This version is great; helped me relieve myself from the DS the scared the hell out of me. Don’t listen to a scary Dark Star at 3:00 in the morning, unless you’re REAL brave

This one is really good. The solos are like butter. Very clean.

Since this show has been announced for a Dave’s this year, I’ve decided to hold off on listening to the show until it arrives. One exception has been made, the Dew. This one is truly gorgeous. It’s long, well played, and the vocals are on point. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the show. I also have a feeling they’ll throw in some of 4/12/78 as bonus material.

Listening to this show again, and I’m pretty sure someone yells “Dark Star!” before the song starts. Great version

Love hearing the audience shouting out songs at the end. I Know You Rider! Mountains of the Moon! Wharf Rat! Dark Star!
