This is just like too much, it's actually too good. The transition from pure madness of dark star into the orderliness of eyes, that juxtaposition, always gets me. While the dark star is most of the focus here, the eyes is silly good, especially in the outro jam. Idk what it would've been like to be there, my mind probs would've melted out of me ears.
I believe this is when Keith added the Fender Rhoades to the mix along with his piano and the Rhoades is prominent here. Constanten was only around briefly 68-70.
@@larrydaiell sir Mr Constanten was long gone by 1973, that is the very talented Keith Godchaux playing the new addition to his setup, the Fender Rhoades keyboard
@@michaelkearns8499 Yes Sir! I'm well aware of when Tom Constanten was actively playing in the band; I was merely correcting the incorrect spelling "Mr Constantine" from 108Unlimited.
Actually Cleveland 12/6/73 is the third longest Dark Star, though shapliest, and furthest out. Inside out.

I typically love Keith's piano work especially in the first few years as a member of the Dead, but I'm not a fan of him playing organ. It sounds muddy, too up front in the mix and muscles in on Phil's sonic territory.
Well, that certainly was a trip. I was nodding off on my couch when Eyes Of The World decided to make itself known.
Thanks.

Thanks ❤
Thank You
thank you 🌌 🌟 👍
Thanks Llama. Tasty stuff.
5-11-72 from the Netherlands is the longest Dark Star.
My puppies mind is blown. He doesn't know where the noises are coming from.
In actuality, an object lesson in how to deconstruct a melody. Big nod to Trane.
shall we go

Mr Constantine on keys? Great job. Thanks for sharing.

This is Keith Godchaux, arguably his finest hour with the group

I'm just going to say the Fall 73 run was spectacular. Not one but 2 Dick's Picks. And come on..an Eyes and Darkstar. Sublime. ✌
Awesome, thanks JP!
@@jackstraw4129 Yes indeed, Fall '73 is a peak period. So is Fall '72 (Kidd said he thinks it was the all time peak)
@@jimpowell6789 Dave said he though Fall of 77 was as good or better than summer 77. Hmmm???
I don't count 8-28-69, it was a Garceeah and Friends/Hartbeats gig.
Great Dark Star, but not the longest ever
Do you know the longest? I'd love to find it and listen
It is the longest
@@ras124 5 11 72 is the longest though.
Yes, Rotterdam
