Grateful Dead - Dark Star (Live/Dead) 1969

Saw G.D. perform this in Uniondale L.I. in 1979 as a treat to attendees...After 5 years of no shows....because of the local pigs busting fans after the show

Save up for the original, pressing on vinyl -tis truly hard to fathom the experience.

Man there is something about this band that trancends music. Its pure unadulterated magic of the best kind

my favorite piece of music ever

There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert - been following them since 1969..Just saw Dead & Co. with my close friends. Incredible!

Greetings from the BIG SKY, again I live inside the Dark Star.

A group of magicians moving together as a single organism. We have been blessed that this happened in our lifetime.

fuck yeah

Quel voyage retour vers mes vingt ans une musique et un groupe qui m'a fait de mes meilleurs voyage ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

This is my favorite Dark Star i remember when i bought Live Dead back in 69 that Dark Star just blew me away I've listened to a lot of others to me this is the BEST.

1970 –Isle of Wight Festival – during the long, long wait in the lovely sunshine each morning for the stage to be set for the day’s music, Jeff Dexter, the DJ, would give us what he called our “Daily Dose of Dark Star”. It was the perfect medicine….

Preferivo i jefferson airplane!!!!

Me, I have always gravitated to the segue of St. Stephen into the Eleven. When William Tell releases the bow, it is the Big Bang. The universe comes to Be, and All is Joyfully Dancing...

It is the birth of the axis...

Does this also send anyone else to this some kind of state of persay meditation?

1970’s Flash Back
Nothing comes close!!! Dead Heads know it’s tranquility!!!

This is the track that got me into the Dead back when I was 18. That would have been somewhere in 1997. Of course, I had only been a year into being a new pothead. lol. This song blew my mind. It began me on a 5 year phase of listening to "jam bands." It did great things for my guitar playing for the time. Most of all those "jam bands" I don't care for anymore but I still love The Dead. I don't really consider The Dead a "jam band" because they were just doing their thing before "jam band' was even coined to describe bands that jam. Today all "jam bands" sound the same. If they're playing a minor key song, it's a funky song. Too many major chord happy songs. The Dead had heart and soul and could play songs that made you cry.

I’m an 1960’scDeadcHead
This song is a trip in its self!! We all ms Jerry and listening to this song makes one dig deep in their soul and it’s a beautiful thing!!! Only a true Dead Heads feels that trip!! Know what I’m saying?????
English Town NJ my best Dead concert- got rained out but then like a Woodstock The Dead Jammed!!!
A life time of great one of a kind memories over and over!!!
Those were the days!!!!

This so beautiful…he was such a beautiful person

I miss Jerry Garcia
He had a giant spirit that he put into his music & songs
I was relieved that my favorite theologian Matthew Fox presided over his funeral

Please follow God

Dark stars: Have we finally found a weird sun powered by dark matter?
Astronomers say they have spotted evidence of stars fuelled by the annihilation of dark matter particles. If true, it could solve the cosmic mystery of how supermassive black holes appeared so early

If I had to pick a single moment in their beautiful career,… a song that was the Grateful Dead at their most Grateful Dead… here you go.

Grateful Dead Bro four minutes is nothing compared to a 30 minute dark star/ El Paso

The pureness luv Nelson cia to laserte🎉🎉my Cannondale PLZZ..luv U cous Sophie Curtis?

all these years on, this twenty minute jam still represents the high tide of west coast acid rock.

Sounds like home.

Jesus kick, Bobby comp, J&P....synaptic fungus

I read to this album all the time and continue to lose myself in this jam. You can feel the magic.

Forget the scene, the history, the Deadheads, the media. Just listen to this like it is the first time you heard it. Quite magical.

Just Exactly Perfect

This version is 100x better than the remaster 🎉

ACID DEAD

Terry Pulleyn - wherever you are, you gave me tomato soup and a steak and kidney pudding when I stayed at your flat..and I woke up to Dark Star...and a new dimension.. Thanks Terry, never forgotten and remembered with deep respect and sincerest thanks for initiating me into this eternally complete. soul food. Hope you are well and content.

Listen to morning dew several times a day

But this is boring af

Dark Star , Black Star , the Black Sun , Saturn , Satan .
Steal your Face , the 13 point lightning flash , the Gohei lightning bolt of Japanese possession ritual , Bowies also red and blue masonic flash .
The promotion of LSD , the drugging of American youth , the Wharf Rats and uncounted Acid casualties . " Its only Teenage Wasteland, they're all wasted " .
All the occult album covers , iconography and GD merchandise .
The criminal embezzlement of the band by Micky Hart's father .
Bob Weir guest at Bohemian Grove revealing his real father was an army General.
The early deaths/sacrifices of Pigpen , Godchaux and Brent .
Friends of the Devil indeed .
Weird scenes inside the Canyon .

When i listen to this i am 15 / 16 back at fillmore east. It does not get any better than this. Tom

Compared to you folks,.... I really didnt get into the dead till i was bout 18... I was born in "73"... So it was a little before my time but when i did catch on..... WOW !!!

Some of the best trips listening to their albums..

Much respect to all that have been there all along... 🙏🏼🌹

My favorite by them.☮️

I can't describe how I feel when I listen to this.
So I won't try.
But I start treatment for cancer in 7 days time and I know this music will help to heal me.

I was just learning major scalesat the time

I like this recording of the song best.

I like your style Shoe Geezer.
