Honestly, not the most exploratory or brain melting Dark Star of all time, but you can never go wrong with a version from '69. (30 Days of Dead)

Playin' In The Band
April 21, 1978
Rupp Arena

also, worth noting it is an incredible playin' sequence on the whole. Playin -> Drums -> Stayin' Alive jam -> the most spellbinding stella blue perhaps of all time-> Truckin -> a delicate, soulful playin' jam -> reprise

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 6, 1977

this should be rated higher... the space out of scarlet is gorgeous, with a typically awesome segue into fire. an all around excellent quality jam and show
