I've always thought 76 the peak year for this tune and am suprised this one hasn't been offered up yet.

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.

The top three versions of this song should all hail from May 77,I'm good with this one.
