- ★★★★★ · 1969. Weir was young and Jerry and Pig rocked!!! · DMT · 2013
Jerry sounds a little like Duane Allman in the first 5min of Lovelight. Nice guitar and singing on 'Rag'. Pigpen plays a mean harp on 'Schoolgirl'! 'Morning Dew' is raw and excellent!! 'Dark Star' is slow and meandering... like Jerry is searching for something.. sounds like they might be dosed and no one can find it. After 20min they come back to this dimension and play the end of the song. They struggle to find 'St Stephen'... Jerry finds it!

- ★★★★★ · Nice one · Chris U. · 2014
The Dark Star, while it doesnt necessarily stand head and shoulders above all the other great Stars from from this incredible period, is very much worth listening to carefully at loud volume. Jerry's got that super thick tone, and the band hits all the right buttons. The Stephen is good, the Eleven is better than good, and the Death Don't is even better. It's unfortunate that the tape runs out during the Alligator jam because they are playing well...
- ★★★★★ · The jams make it happen · jerrygarciafan · 2014
Wow, VERY jam-heavy performance. Like another user posted, Jerry displays some Allman Brothers influence here. Lovelight, School girl, and Dark Star stand out the most for me in terms of extensive jams. Overall a strong performance. A few hit or miss moments, but certainly a noteworthy '69 show. God bless this era of the Dead.
