Like the breaking of a dam, this just flows at a truly ferocious pace. Jerry is relentless in his playing, the second solo will knock your socks off.

Any '74 version of this tune is a treat. Incredibly lovely with great Keith lines. Billy sways.

Definitive for its time. The soundcheck gave us a preview, here's the full thing. Solid version.

Just a damn near perfect performance. Shocked not to see this one submitted. One of MANY highlights from this show.

Stupidly heavy, shades of early heavy metal on this one. Incredible controlled chaos that explores so much. A very tight version.

This version made me fall in love with Me and My Uncle If you didn’t quite like Dark Star>El Paso, then check this out for a different flavor of uncanniness and absurdity. Love love love this performance.

Man, the energy is completely and utterly infectious, stupendously hot version with the whole band really being a part of the music here. Check this out

Man, this Dark Star. I liked Veneta, loved it. It was for me a peak into what the dead were about. This is what they REALLY are about. This performance really opened my eyes to what The Dead were as a musical and a spiritual unit. A haunting electric light show. This conjures up visions of an event horizon and traveling through the other side to find a cowboy's surrealist day dream playing out in front of your eyes before being shot right back into the cosmos.The rest that follows is a spirtual workout for the band and they really dig into such interesting themes before ultimately morphing into a stunning and unique performance of Wharf Rat. This Dark Star helped me appreciate The Dead so so much. So this'll always get my vote. Check out 5/4/72 to meet this Dark Star's other half. Yin and Yang.

Phenomenal version, pretty much perfect with tons of energy. Just a great show man! *chefs kiss*

HUGE. Never ending peaks. Check it out NOW! “The American version of the Japanese film The Magnificent Seven, The Grateful Dead!”
