50th Anniversary of Live Dead's Dark Star

Earlier this week was the 50th anniversary of what many people consider the best version of the Grateful Dead's signature song, Dark Star. It ended up on the Live Dead album. To celebrate the anniversary, Relix has linked to several classic versions of Dark Star, including the one from Live Dead.

I saw the Dead eight times, but only caught one Dark Star, the last time I saw them in Hamilton in March 1992. It was wonderful. Here's a link to an audience recording of the performance.
