And then there's this one. One of my favorite Dark Stars (along with 9/21/72). The one is HEAVY. The night after Jimi Hendrix died and there's death all around them ... Phil's Dad, Jerry's Mom, Janis.... they all died in a span of a few weeks. I call this one the Death Star (mostly to myself). You can actually hear the musical "time of death" before the resurrection that leads to a wake led by Pigpen. Profound shit. All kinds of cool stuff seems to happen around the equinoxes. I also consider Phish's show from 9/22/99, off in New Mexico, their most underrated ever and one of my favorites too... for those of you who go "both ways". :) Needs a SBD but it's just so solid and mature, song to song.... much like 9/21/72.

Man I always trip on this being Keith’s rookie year. He came out swinging for the fences!

Here in a minute I'll be going down the road feeling bad. Well, going down the road anyway. The river had fell about a foot and a quarter so I felt safe to sleep at home last night. Looking at the hydrology report online this morning, I see it's come back up a foot. So as soon as I eat, it's back down to the riverhouse to play in the flood.

But I did take the time to queue this one up.

The set list listed doesn’t match up with the recording. This is 11-5-85. Think I still have this one on tape.

People always give Donna shit but she contributed a feminine energy that worked on a lot of songs. Yes her Playin screams make me cringe at times, but on songs like LL Rain, Tomorrow is Forever, He’s Gone etc she really adds a lot. With that said, some of my favorite shows from that era have Donna low in the mix and she not really missed. She is the one who had the balls to step up to Jerry and tell him that Keith was their next piano player. Had she not done that who knows what type of parallel universe we would be living in now.
