What a beautiful version ... there's nothing like those three distinctive voices weaving those harmonies, with the added bonus of Keith playing some wonderfully subdued piano to back it all up. All that's missing is Pig's organ. *sniff* Adding: with all due respect to Dylan's and Feather's comment (and D*** and Gans, as well) I just don't "get" the greatness of this Dark Star, and likewise have never found the Philly '72 shows to hold a candle to that which came shortly before or shortly after.

★★★★★ · Billy on Drums · Sedula · 2010
I love the time in Deads history when they only had one drummer. It is so obvious that Billy was such a better drummer than Mickey Hart and this Dark Star is a prime example. Listen to Mickey on Live Dead. On a few songs he is clearly playin' out of time over some simple structures. He just was never the well-rounded drummer that Billy was. I bet Billy could have played in a jazz trio with Miles or Coltrane based on how he plays over this Dark Star.

i give alot of 4 star ratings (hey, i love these guys)but not many 5 star ratings...but i have a hard time not pulling the trigger on these latter half of '72 shows...especially when the sound is this good. somebody mentioned billy's drumming in the mix, and indeed he sounds great. classic jazz drumming during the Dark Star...which is a powerful version, with Jerry getting after it and staying tight. Attics is gorgeous, He's Gone great... so much here! 5 for sure.
