"Dark Star" has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about "Dark Star" as a playing experience.
Reich: Well, yeah, talk about it a little.
Garcia: I can't. It talks about itself.

Hunter "I don't have any idea what the 'transitive nightfall of diamonds' means. It sounded good at the time"

View NotesMost currently circulating CDR copies of this show have either the beginning or the concluding couple minutes of "Cold Rain & Snow" cut and are also missing the beginning of "China Cat Sunflower".  This version has these defects corrected using a 2nd gen cassette source.

Not much is still missing at the beginning of "Casey Jones".  On the circulating copy the "Dark Star" cuts right after the end of the 2nd vocals and splices to the beginning of a chorus of "New Speedway Boogie".  During this time period "New Speedway Boogie" usually ran an average of about 08:30, so it seems likely a solid 4 minutes is missing here, plus possible jamming after the Dark Star vocals.  Probably there is more music on the master than is represented by the heavy-handed edit of the circulating version.

Before "All Around This World" Garcia answers a request from the audience:  "Hey it's not my fault if you watch TV, man.  I know lots of people who don't watch any TV at all."
