DeadFriends, you are invited to enjoy a unique, in-depth master class on the original Dark Star off Live/Dead. Concentration is placed on exploring the individual and group improv concepts that are used to create this masterpiece of improvisation. You'll DIG this, promise:)
Open a box of wine, type in "Dave Frank" Dark Star on YT:)
they absolutely PEAKED at 72'....less was SO much more at this period for my boys, think about it...jerry's rig is SO simple: he has a beautiful sunburst strat through fender reverb amps and what looks to be a Vox Wah pedal, that's it!!! no crazy custom guitars or walls of sounds or MIDI stereo inputs only ONE drummer (their real drummer IMO) and Keith killin' it on acoustic piano, no lame synth effects or anything egregious organ, just raw, direct, simple, and GORGEOUS, this was pre-decadence
Man they may classify the Dead as Rock and Roll, but this is obviously JAZZ music, in the same vein as Charlie Parker, Joe Pass, Metheney, etc. AWESOME JAM! thx for uploading :-)
holy shiznit i loooooove this dark star... starts out beautiful then slowly decends into utter chaos... then emerges on the other side with a fckn country song!!!!!!!! amazing!!!!!!!!!
@hippy2010 What's REALLY crazy is when you throw on a show you've never heard before & play along, then THEY start playing stuff responding to the stuff YOU JUST PLAYED.
Moments like that let you know when you're a good musician, and give you renewed appreciation for how good They were.
Dark star as well as the other one jam shows how completely ethereal and utherworldly they are... you travel far away to a land of pure joy and then youre back again in reality
this is the extremely underrated phil-billy sickle cell jam...these two fellos really are and still are jamming. then comes keith at about 2 then jerry oh yeah this is a jam band by which all others are measured
I still cant believe the amount of people that listened to part one, but now two, three or four.. Its so sad

does anyone know where the ultimate version of DARKSTAR can be found.
It`s an paste edition from all versions, put together into one ultimate edition.
The 1970 version, would do the trick also.
From Dick`S PICKS VOL4.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response, (jonny576375) but this isn`t the version I ment.
Incredible, but the DARKSTAR version I mean is a culimanation of all version of Darkstar, put into ONE long and Ultimate version.
There is some information to be found on Wikipedia,
Can you help me find that version, thanks for this set by the way.
It`s absolutly amazingly good.
