Dark Star

Love this version. It was my first Dark Star love and still one of my favourites. I agree with hvd, "Totally worth a listen for anybody inclined to sit down and really appreciate what's going on." Really great experience to sit with nothing else going on and listen, and marvel at the places Jerry goes (and the whole band go, of course). I also agree that this is a good Dark Star to start newbie Deadheads on - not too intimidating, not excessively long, doesn't have any screechy weirdness. And you can easily let it roll for the rest of the Dick's release if you are so inclined, which I usually am. :)
