This classic, epitome masterpiece iteration was in circulation among show traders in 1990’s...Deadheads marveled then (as I still do today, listening here) at the fresh soundboard crisp, rich tones- bass is rich round & deep...Billy’s drums are mic’d ideally...Keith’s piano presents the nuanced, inspired take on this classic - imo one of the best post-TC keyboard on DS ever! You can actually hear Bobby the whole time (snicker) & he’s in fine form...& Jerry...Jerry...yeah, his titanic work here covers a landscape that most can see clearly as they listen... Garcia is on fire with inspiration...effortlessly shuffling styles & tones... amazing stuff. Amazing.
A teacher of mine in high school surprised me with this song on a cd the day after he found me doodling a stealy in his class. It wasnt long before this song became a surefire vehicle to tranquility for me. It's a masterpiece
I had a Spanish teacher who would randomly tell the class his Grateful Dead experiences. I can't remember if they coincided with tour coming through. Had several classmates that were Deadheads to varying degrees but the one friend of theirs not in the class played a huge role in me moving from fan to head. There were several friends over the years and miles that helped that along and am so grateful. My Punk, Metal, Crossover of the 2 was just fueling a darkness of anger and shitstorm. The music, friends, scene, and psychedelics combined with a sprout of my spiritual beliefs all helped me along the way. I'll never forget that teacher and others who were into the scene or the ones who were painters, writers, and even an old half insane poet of a teacher. Whole new world had opened. The people who surprise us with a hidden alternate life of Deadhead could sometimes just be sensed as such but a few were/are surprises to discover especially when it comes to people I knew from grade school or all the way to high school but only discovered their trip to our world because of FakeBook.
My all time favorite Dark Star. A-fucking-mazing! I'm going to keep this on loop all morning. I hate to use this word, but this is the definition of EPIC. Mind blowing.
I keep coming across versions of this meisterwerk that I have not heard before - and this particular performance must rank amongst the very very best, if not THE one. I agree with the chap below who marvels at the drums shifting at 23 minutes - the proof of a intuitive and telepathic bond between these psychedelic visionaries. Thank you. Dallas.., for sharing this!
Baloney! That one is exceptional though, especially around the MLB part. But I don't find this to be relatively "loose," I don't know where you got that idear.
TODAY IS 11-11 MAKEA. FUCKING WISH. DEAD HEADS UNITE FOR A BETTER AMERICA A BETTER LIFE A BETTER EVERYTHING THROUGH HOPE AND UNDERSTANDING .... NOW ON WITH THE SHOW. PEACE
rather atonal early on but it really hits a nice texture from 6:00 to 11:00. this should have been on the Beyond Description box set. The Last versions of Dark Star from 74 are generally my favorites but 20 years ago I was just discovering the Live Dead and Dicks Picks Volume 2 and 4 versions
Do such things happen nowadays ... or ever ? It would be the most beautiful thing happened to me. It is normal that strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hands, but here it is about something much different... You really mean it?
@jg6698 I mean nitrous is literally nitrous oxide whippits (laughing gas, same stuff the dentist uses), so nothing really unbelievable there, but 15 tabs of acid... ya either that's the lowest dosed cid, or he's full of shit
This is a keeper, but is it from 11/11/73 or as it confusingly also says above, "Dark Star [2] [Live at Winterland, December 31, 1978]" ?? I'm confused??
"Dark Star" is a cornerstone of psychedelic music
You know it's a good Dark Star when he doesn't start singing til almost 17 minutes in :)
this version should be required listening on a regular basis by every man woman and child on this planet
The transition to Mind Left Body jam at the end is the best musical representation of hope that I've ever heard
Bob totally eggs it on until Jerry finally gets it and jumps in
Phil is absolutely in the pocket in this. Ahhhhhh his bass playing is godly on this
This has been an amazing way to spend 35 minutes. Nothing left to do but smile smile smile
Doctor: You have approximately 35 minutes left to live.
me: Alexa play "Grateful Dead - Dark Star 11-11-73" on youtube
The height of musical genius this one. It really doesn't get any better than this.
Lol
One of my all time favorite Dark Stars for decades
Grateful Dead is a cornerstone of MY psychedelic history 😎🙃
Dead heads say every Dark Star is their favorite Dark Star.

Yeah. Soon after the long agonizing decline began.
I needed this after telling Capital One off on the phone this morning. We have no privacy anymore. God Bless the Dead! " FREEDOM "
My favourite Dead song.
Great year for the boys😊
All four 72-74 Winterland Dark Stars are outstanding!

I play this while I'm painting at my easel in my Art studio. It takes me to Mars and back with new enlightenment each time I listen.
great dark star
This one in my top 5 all time Dark Stars. For sure. Like, really man, really.
This one definetly implores me to imagine things deeply. Mostly things about space.
There's part of me that thinks its a bad sign for our society that something like this only has 18k views. But...at least it has that.
No words can really describe this. So I wont even try. Just beautiful.
This my favourite of 73, the boys always bring it home at Winterland..A brilliant Dark Star.
kreutzmann is such a god among men. the way he brings the drums in after the spacey jam is perfection itself. 23:25
lsd
Absolutely. Such a masterful drummer...and the foundation to everything!!!!
Much obliged, this particular one is far out. Very jazzy...
A little Mind Left Body Jam action in there too

This one's been long referred to as "The Thinking Man's Dark Star."
Don't think...just listen!
Mick Jagger i think they pulled this jam
Off better at the Spectrum in Philly in 72. This one gets a little too loose
Baloney! That one is exceptional though, especially around the MLB part. But I don't find this to be relatively "loose," I don't know where you got that idear.
so someone tweeted about this and i looked it up. what exactly is a dark star?
Press "play"...
This is awesome ❤😊
Life just isn't the same without that
god that little buildup into around 31:00. it's like light at the end of a tunnel. so beautiful
Nice long version of a great song
Outstanding! Best Dark Star I've ever heard!
IT was a truly epic weekend.
Big as the Universe.
Ah, what a ride that was
Anybody from St Louis area must remember the dead concerts at the Fox theater

TODAY IS 11-11 MAKEA. FUCKING WISH. DEAD HEADS UNITE FOR A BETTER AMERICA A BETTER LIFE A BETTER EVERYTHING THROUGH HOPE AND UNDERSTANDING .... NOW ON WITH THE SHOW. PEACE

Billy !!! Drumming with Planet Magic...

Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of goodbye
Grateful Dead Golden gate Park St Louis at the Fox theater
MLB jam starting at 31:15 is sooooooo goooooood oh man
Lauren Hanson I still think The best MLB in philly 72 at Spectrum.
MLK was pretty good in his day.
lovely
Good fucking lord.
I was 2 days old back then.
+Damjan Novakovic Doesn't matter. It's here and now. Listen to the masters.
You were born on 11-9-73?
Good timing that was a great show. :D
Yes...too bad i can't afford that Winterland '73 box set. :(
Do such things happen nowadays ... or ever ?
It would be the most beautiful thing happened to me.
It is normal that strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hands, but here it is about something much different... You really mean it?
Ok, here is: damjan.novakovic@yahoo.com
And thanks a lot mate!
love it -s
Its Dark Star/Mind over body jam really
Mind over body comes from Baron Von Toolbooth and Chrome Nun
31:00 onwards is amazing..
0:01 onwards is amazing!
In 93 at Indianapolis in the country at the Rock fest dead fest
Say no more err I die a happy man!!
Anybody who needs a BFF Dark Star.......needs another Dark Star.
Wow
66000 listen to this. And less then 1000 likes .wow😮
I agreee.
At least 15 hits LDS and six giant bottles of nitrous I had it was a good concert
How does one bottle nitrous, asking for a friend
@@newusernamehere4772 sounded good when he made it all up. These Dead threads are always packed with young fantacists.
@jg6698 I mean nitrous is literally nitrous oxide whippits (laughing gas, same stuff the dentist uses), so nothing really unbelievable there, but 15 tabs of acid... ya either that's the lowest dosed cid, or he's full of shit
I want to get stoned, and let the music take me away.
Full show here...archive.org/details/gd1973-11-11.sbd.rolfe-miller.83318.sbeok.flac16

This is a keeper, but is it from 11/11/73 or as it confusingly also says above,
"Dark Star [2] [Live at Winterland, December 31, 1978]" ??
