Campus Stadium, UCSB

These early 70s Jack Straws have so much Charm. Silky smooth rendition full of grace and wonderful joyous interplay. Surprised this isn’t here yet.

“It’s polka time!” Shouts Bobby at the beginning of this one! Honored to submit this one. Absolute rager from an underrated show.

Stunning organ parts that take the song to a different level. Feels like I'm going down a lazy river without a care in the world.

Dark Star

Public Hall

Feels like an Area 51 experiment in the best way possible. If anyone on this site has ever watched the movie "Annihilation" then this is what this Dark Star reminds me off. Specifically with some of those intergalactic 4th dimension breaking space sections it reminds me when the protagonist in the movie comes in contact with the extraterrestrial being. A Dark Star for the ages and one of the best ever. Such deep space explored. Dark matter all over this one.

Fillmore East

Another landmark version. This time, a few of Einsteins theories get proven through music.

Just lovely. Haunting and acidic is how I like my Dark Stars and this certainly fits the description. Jerry is really in it and you can just tell that the band is riding that infectious energy. Highly recommend this entire show.

Just wow. Such power and vigor. Jerry is at the helm of this one and just launches the band into cosmic uncharted territory. Love Bobby's vocal inflection in the last verse. Hang on tight y'all. P.S THE CRYPTICAL JAM AT THE END
