Great version out of a nice Bird Song that suffers due to only an audience recording existing. Still definitely worth the listen though

Dark Star
Sept. 2, 1968
Betty Nelson's Organic Raspberry Farm

Too dang short. This one is nearly entirely the Dark Star theme and is played so fast and fluidly, absolutely rocks on this Charlie Miller tape
Morning Dew

Strand Lyceum

Triumphant ending. The way Dews are meant to be played...

Fantastic E72 version with a sublime transition into Dew. The DS theme in this one is strong and beautiful, chaotic and powerful towards the end
The Music Never Stopped
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

Just here to say this show is as smooth as the Dead ever sounded, and Donna is amazing on this tune!!!

Love this one, just very salty it wasn't included with the filler songs from this show on the new Dave's Picks.
