The most psychedelic and lysergic Dark Star of the year. It's blasphemous that it's not listed here

Still my favourite. This one and 10/16 should be on the first and second places. All the other versions listed above are great, but these two version surpasses them by far.
The Other One

Folsom Field, University of Colorado

After hearing this one again I can say that it could easily be my favourite version, perhaps only behind 5/2/70
Playin' In The Band

Kezar Stadium

Usualy a 15-20 minutes PITB first set closer (as usual in 73) is a nice treat, but here it's a real highlight of the show, so good it's unreal

It's not a Grateful Dead concert if somebody doesn't messes-up their lyrics :P This one actually made me smile :)

Love this version, it has a slower pace than usual and it's just so groovy, might be my new favourite (pre-hiatus) version
