Footage from the unreleased movie "Sunshine Daydream," documenting a benefit for Ken Kesey's brother's creamery.

This is the third segment of a thirty minute Dark Star. If you are a Dead fan who is not familiar with this show, check out the other two segments.

I prefer Dear Jude, but to each his own.

I think I was at that show. Great sets in/around DC, but those cops were nazis. See also: Landover, MD.

The best version of it I saw live was at Alpine Valley in WI in 1989. I once had a tape of the show but my GF ran off with all of my Dead tapes... It was raining and we had a vague idea that our car was parked somewhere in a cornfield.

I also saw their last show at Soldier Field which was not very good. JGB had later shows, but it was the last Dead show.

I still have a shirt from that tour (that my wife tries to throw away all the time) at JFK stadium in Philly, right after I graduated high school. I woke up sometime the next day miles away from the stadium and have no idea how I got there.

/good times
//Dark Star is one of their better songs
///my fave was when I saw them play Aiko Aiko for what seemed like hours

Great shows that year in the Valley!
The last night "Looks like rain" in the pouring rain...

I never saw anyone getting harassed by cops at the RFK shows, it seemed pretty open to anything you wanted to do, nitrous and etc being sold in the open, a big farking party. Now Landover was an entirely different experience....

Duncan's farking rocked!

Wow, a Dead Thread and no haters or that "what's that noise" joke yet. amazing.

This is one of my favorite Dark Stars, very good stuff. 1972 was a very good year.

I'd click on the link to check it out, but I'm afraid I'd never be able to get the stink of patchouli off my finger.

Ahh good old Dark Star. I've gotten lost in a many of them. I love it when all the deadhead's come out of the woodwork on Fark!

I had to take a look at the profile of an old Farker. After seeing the section of the bands you have seen live, I must say.... kudos. Sounds like happenin' good times.

Listening to DeadHeads reminisce about concerts is about as magical as watching a NZ rugby team comparing hoof scars.

Besides- if you are a TRUE DeadHead you can't remember what happened at the concert anyways, that's why you buy a shirt...so you know you were really there.

Heh, I'm not THAT old. Thanks, man. I love the live music. Heading up to NC next month to see Hornsby and Ricky Skaggs.

True Deadheads didn't usually buy tour shirts. That's what the narcs wore. TMYK

Thanks...and count me in.

I miss this band so much. I am not allowed to listen to it at home anymore cause my girlfriend says its for stoners.

/I miss being a stoner so much.

Just popping in to say hi to all the kind people out there on the other end of the tubes.

They're just 'Old and in the Way'. . ..

 
bigbaddoc 2008-02-08 01:23:50 PM  
Personally, I think this Darkstar pales in comparison to the pre-1970 ones... but I know most folks disagree.
