23 Years & 1 Day Ago: 7/12/90 RFK Best Post '74 Dark Star?
Forums:
Almost a half hour and during that '89>'90 period when the band looked & sounded refreshed & upbeat, especially Garcia.
7 minute jam into verse 1, 16 minute space, 7 minute jam after verse 2.

5 hours each ways and made it to work the next day with a big smile planted on my face over my first Dark Star.
Had a little yellow post-it on my desk w/ 2nd set list for 2-3 years until I left that job.

Great show, don't recall it raining. Although that may have been the show we snuck in the mezz because it was raining.

I was there and was very excited to hear my first Dark Star, after 18 years and 78 concerts. Saw more than my fair share of The Other One and Morning Dew, but for years Dark Star avoided me like it owed me money.

As I recall, it rained during the first set and that cooled things down for a wonderful 2nd set.

a good portion of this show is PRIME dark, scary, angry dead.
IMO few recordings capture this sound properly, and the 10-25-89 miller sbd is one of the best examples of this sound. one of my favorite shows from the 89-90 era. victim, estimated, dark star>drums>space are all fucking great.

Short but heavy & deep. Figuratively & literally 4:00am music, Phil THUMPING on Big Brown, the band playing as one, and the transition from the weird little Other One sandwiched in the middle of Dark Star back into DS is the stuff the universe is made of.
That little transition is Jerry Garcia and the band at their very, very best.
As is the Wharf Rat they played immediately after.
