All about Brent.

Part of a very hardcore rock and roll 2nd set. HEAVY wailing Drums>Space>NFA w/motorcycle revs.

Another Europe '72 tour winner. Bobby sez "Rock on out" for the bridge jam and Jerry obliges.

Just discovered this one, available on archive as outtakes that didn't make the DP release. Simply put, it kicks ass.

Always a tough tune for the band to pull off but here they do it with authority. Jerry nails the vocals w/gusto!

Bobby needs more credit for his work on this song and especially this version, which is A+ on all cylinders. But Bobby outshines even Jerry on this version with some incredibly fluid and amazing rhythm playing throughout, most notably before the final verse. Just outstanding Weir Work from an awesome show.

@Muffinman49 Just wanted to say I love your list of favorite shows in your comments here, especially listing 10/29/77 which is my #1 fave all time. The rest of your list is damn impressive as well.

Struggled with this as a potential upvote, but decided "yes" because my only complaint is with the final 3-4 minutes of cacophony that I so despise in Dark Stars of this era. But everything that precedes it is just too damn good not to push this up the ladder. And really, the 3-4 minute section of breakdown-screechy stuff can't nullify the amazing jamming previous, Plus, it does segue seamlessly into El Paso (which, you know, isn't necessarily a good thing; never really understood why such diametrically opposing tunes would be melded to each other, but perhaps that's part of the point with a song as mysterious and open to all possibilities of the universe as Dark Star.). Overall, though, this rendition stands out for its propulsive and confident jamming prior to the first verse, and following that is a truly one-of-a-kind-haven't-heard-in-other-versions Jerry-led section in which he sustains long, twanging notes on the guitar that never dissolve into dissonance but rather create a kind of quasi-psychedelic, classic rock, controlled and somehow beautiful portion of instrumental landscape that only this band could truly claim as its own. I am grateful to those who upvoted and commented on this version because I was unaware of it before and am pleased beyond measure to have discovered it now. More listenings will follow and maybe I'll be less peeved by the final few minutes of break-down disturbance that I wish a magical musical editor had convinced the band to excise.

Klausmith called it: chills.

Find the best sounding version of the show you can (MIller version the best; edits in others shorten Eyes and Sugar Mag; Miller patches in what's missing and you don't want to cheat yourself especially on the Eyes. 10/29/77 is my favorite show of all time.) IMHO best ever versions of Bertha, Eyes, Might as Well, St. Stephen, Black Peter, Sugar Mag and Top 5 versions of almost everything else, Can't say enough about that show.
