Beautiful vocal performance from Garica. Sad this hasn't been added.

I got goosebumps after that first solo ended, and every other moment here is equally as mind blowing. Absolute masterpiece.

I mean yeah, this one's as acclaimed as it is for a reason. While most Dark Star performances leave you in in a 20-30 minute long spacey trance, here the band finds so many unique and memorable ideas that have frequently gotten stuck in my head. And their return to the main riff 26 minutes in is one of the greatest moments in their catalog.

Out of everything the band has done this has remained my favorite performance they've ever done. Such an entrancing experience. Also contains Donna's best vocal performance she's done on any PITB. Helps that the GD movie soundtrack audio contains some of the highest quality live recordings out there from the band.

the solo 5-7 minutes in is probably my favorite pre-jam solo from the band, especially from Garcia.
And We Bid You Goodnight

My favorite version if you ask me. It's such a powerful end to a pretty intense show, especially with its last jams, and the guitar noises that cut in and out hit me so hard and add a special extra touch of emotion to the performance that ties the show together.
