One of those shows where everyone was on and they just seemed to be having fun.Rocking version with Jerry going off and the Wall of Sound to boot.

One of the best shows of the year in perhaps the best year for the song,high energy and ultra smooth.

Bobby doesn't get too carried away as he could be prone to and Jerry's guitar is perfect.

Great version from one of the hottest shows the boys ever played.When Bobby introduces the opening number by saying it is a fox trot and ladies choice only for the band to launch into Dark Star you know you are in for a hell of a ride!

Don't know if this is the "best" version ever but the La Bamba in the sandwhich does make it special.
