Classic liner notes from _The Deadheads Taping Compendium_, re Dark Star: 'Weir creates a tribal rhythm with Garcia plucking sinister licks and Godchaux providing the typical bizarre tonal horizon.They seem to me to have landed on a planet with a green sky and a purple sun-truly weird. Ultimately, Garcia climaxes with an orgasmic and deranged screeching "Tiger". The band recovers for a moment in its aftermath, but Lesh refuses to let it die. He begins a sick and mutilated solo. As if this weren't enough, the band switches gears and enters a slightly psychotic jam that burns out into a wicked Kreutzmann solo...'
