Dark Star
7:51 -
10:54 = unknown SBD source
The unknown audience master used to patch Dark Star is excellent. The second SBD source, supplying the other 3 minutes of Dark Star is mildly inferior to the main source.
The third guitarist audible starting about
2:45 into Dark Star and for several minutes thereafter is Peter Green. Duane Allman on slide guitar enters around the middle of Dark Star. Gregg Allman adds organ during Spanish Jam.
From "Searching for the Sound" by Phil Lesh:
Jerry says to Phil of The Allman Brothers Band on their way to this show: "make sure you check these guys out... they're kinda like us... They jam hard."
Phil was startled when he heard Duane's slide during Dark Star... Jerry hadn't told him anyone would sit in.
Gregg "slides onto the organ bench" during Spanish Jam.
"Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac plugs in just as I'm pulling the music into the dominant minor ... he and Duane seem more comfortable in this space."
After the show, "I walk outside -- it's daylight, and snow is falling gently on the streets of New York... I grab Bob and Jerry in a group embrace: This is what it's all about."
