Whenever you hear about the best “Dark Star” it’s usually 8/27/72, 2/27/69, 6/10/73, or any from 1974. This version is right up there with the best. It may even sit at the top. Just absolutely cataclysmic. The rest of this short set is super solid as well. The band was only a couple months’ in on the Keith Godchaux era and they were really starting to jell. I am ever so grateful for this new pressing from Real Gone, the first to be mastered to vinyl from the source tapes. This sounds amazing and has perhaps the greatest use of a blank side ever.
