This is really the best one I've heard--everyobody nails their parts/lyrics...great piano fills on the side (yay, Bruce!). Just exactly, etc.

Incredible. Check out Brent's fills during the epic post-lyrics outro. A must-listen top tier Althea w/bounce, power, & panache!

Apparently no one is aware that a fellow named Keith played in this band or this version would have 50 votes already. Needs to be heard!

Outside of 1977 this may be the best version I've heard. A+ vocals from Jerry, killer mid-solo; slightly faster tempo. Must hear. Gr8 Matrix!

Bob's lyric phrasing on this version is unique. He sings it in a way so different than any I've heard before & it's inventive & super-fun. Must hear!

But there is such a thing as an ignored one. This version is far too good to be sitting so low on the ladder. This whole show, in fact, is underrated, probably due to its proximity to Ventura and overshadowed by the Europe tour, but c'mon. This is played with a perfect flow and ease and precision that's every bit as good as some of the '72's listed much higher. Give it a listen & show it some love.

The more you dig into '69 stars the more you discover. Another version marked mostly by a combination of jazz/psychedelia jams and a rave-up ending on this one. Good upgraded CM version available and worth seeking out,

This is fan-freaking-tastic. Has an almost indescribable different "feel" to Dark Stars of this era especially. Deep, dark, flowing jams that go everywhere at once. Love it. Why have I never known of this version previously? Check it. +1

Superior version needing more votes & attention. Brent forgoes the "Fisher-Price" tinkly effects for a more straight-ahead piano sound and the results are beautiful, jazzy interplay on the post-lyrics jam, leading to several outro themes explored with Mickey & Billy. This version is mellower than many they would play in the '85-'88 years...Jerry doesn't go with the hard grunge riffs you'd hear in those years but instead the whole band gets into a more colorful jazz mood, short of the Midi effects that would mark the 90's versions. The preceding lyrical sections are done with grace and precision and the overall effect is of a Terrapin that tells its story with quiet and lovely confidence, followed by a very musically interesting outro section. Try it & see if you agree it needs a higher place on the big board.

Confirmed awesome. Rivals some of the best of '77 (11/4 included). Jam into the aforementioned Delilah Jones line goes 'round for an extra 2 or 3 runs and Jerry just crushes it. Top notch BEW probably not higher on the list due only to no SBD recording but the AUD available is really really good. This is a Top 3 version if not #1. For real.
