There's nothing like a proper Fall '70 AUD tape. This one is right from the thick of the American Beauty days. The first half dozen tunes are countrified and robust. A definite highlight is the string of consecutive classics from their first album, Sittin' on Top of the World, Morning Dew, and BIODTL.

The college did not book the band until a week before the gig.The college did not tell the band that to pay themwhat they wanted they would have to play to two shows in one night because the theater only had a few hundred seats.The tickets were $3 and $4. There was supposed to be a6:00 and 9:00 shows. The band was all there by 5:30 except for Lesh who was lost in a taxi riding around Paterson for hours because the taxi driver did not kwow Paterson State is not in Paterson.
- ★★★★★ · Music so psychedelic, it pushes the outer envelope · rlrevell · 2017
Yes, the sound is bad, but DL knew what he was talking about when he put this in the same category as 2-13-70. Even if you're not on anything, you can listen to this Dark Star and see the notes rather than hearing them. Even if a better recording never surfaces (and IIRC a lot of the band's 1970 shows weren't recorded by the band, or the recordings were lost), I believe that in our lifetimes there will be technology to clean this up massively.
