"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Comments:
The goal was to patch the Gator Jam splice from the Anthem CD and try and fix the numerous pitch issues, including varying pitch within songs. In general, Jerry and Bobby were in and out of tune throughout the show.

Cool Edit Pro v2.0 was used for all edits.
All files encoded WAV>FLAC via Flac Frontend v1.7.1 (level 8, align sector boundaries).
All discs retracked with CD Wav v1.93 beta.

Thanks to SP for pitch help and general instigational services.
Thanks to Joe "Pitch Bitch" Jones.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Just as there was nothing, as the saying goes, like a Grateful Dead concert, there was nothing quite like hearing the late Dick Latvala describe a Grateful Dead concert. When Latvala — longtime keeper of the Grateful Dead tape Vault and founding father of the series of archival recordings known as Dick’s Picks — was especially enthusiastic about a Dead show he was not stingy with the superlatives. It was not just a “good” or “great” show — it was the most significant thing ever achieved in the history of music! A high-water mark in the annals of Western civilization! And so on. When Dick departed this life in 1999, he left us with sweet memories of many such raves. So we’re especially pleased that the latest release in the series that still bears his name contains one of the shows that Dick liked to rave about the most, from one of his very favorite periods in Grateful Dead music. Presenting Dick’s Picks, Volume 26, a two-CD set featuring highlights from the Dead’s April 26th, 1969 show at Chicago’s Electric Theater, and, in its entirety, the deserving object of Dick’s over-the-top affections: the next night’s spectacular performance at the Labor Temple in Minneapolis.

The segment of DP26 from the Electric Theater begins with a batch of tunes from the as-yet-unreleased Aoxomoxoa, including a tantalizing tease at the end of “Mountains Of The Moon,” which seems like it wants to be “Dark Star,” but makes an abrupt prankster’s detour into “China Cat Sunflower.” Other delightful surprises from this set are a version of “The Other One” with “The Eleven” stealthily tucked into the middle, and a major rarity — Jimmy Reed’s “I Know It’s A Sin,” which the Dead only played about a dozen times.

To listen to the next night’s festivities in Minneapolis is to understand why Dick Latvala worked himself into such a lovely frenzy over it. The band lets us know that they mean business early on, opening the set with a song that usually marked the climax of a Dead show in those days: Pigpen’s signature showstopper, “Turn On Your Lovelight,” which morphs into John Phillips’ classic cowboy-movie-in-miniature, “Me and My Uncle,” which in turn gives way to “Sitting On Top Of The World.” Having thrown down the gauntlet so decisively, the Dead then head straight for parts unknown, with one of the great versions of “Dark Star” of that era, continue headlong through “St. Stephen,” “The Eleven,” and then, right back where they started, to “Lovelight.” Pigpen, acting as though the astral travels of the previous hour had been a mere digression from the business at hand, picks up the narrative with a nonchalant “…like I was tellin’ ya, some ol’ time ago…” and proceeds, like Lord Buckley’s Nazz, to lay it down. So that it stays there. A cacophonous end to “Lovelight” and a lovely encore of “Morning Dew,” and then the Dead ride off into the Minnesota night, leaving the audience (including you, the home listener, decades later) to retrieve what’s left of its senses.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped, however audio data will remain unaffected.
If you must transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

**first known rendition of Uncle John's Band (with lyrics)

This is one of the more muffled and hissy master cassette SBDs from the '69 era. It sounds like there could be several analog generations in the lineage, though the lack of crisp sound quality might mostly be attributed to the master, which is reportedly degraded. Many analog related crackles and blemishes were embedded in the recording. Sound Forge was used to smooth or reduce most of the glitches, though many minor blemishes remain. Sound Forge was also used to normalize and correct the pitch.

Notes:
--Dire Wolf cuts out shortly after one minute
--splice in Schoolgirl @ 7:29
--tape damage in China Cat @ 0:44
--other blemishes are frequent, though not offensive

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"Dark Star" has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about "Dark Star" as a playing experience.
Reich: Well, yeah, talk about it a little.
Garcia: I can't. It talks about itself.

Hunter "I don't have any idea what the 'transitive nightfall of diamonds' means. It sounded good at the time"

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Comments:

- This has the same cuts as the sources that have been in circulation for some time. I haven't patched the start of the early show with the aud that is available because I don't think it would add anything to this gem.

Notes:

- Removed DC offset
- Azimuth adjustment
- Cross-faded the two parts of 'The Other One' together- Small patch of hum removed The Eleven
- Attenuated a small patch of hum during 'The Eleven'
- Pitch adjustment

Thanks to Jim for providing his copy of this show.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Grateful Dead
Fillmore East
New York, New York
February 13, 1970 - Late Show

This is a 2-source matrix mix of shnid #97639(SBD) and shnid #123814(AUD). The mix is roughly 50/50.
Mixed by Nick Crump
Eugene, Oregon
October 2014

Notes: The audience source used is an amazing recording for this period but not without its flaws. There is a great deal of mic noise throughout. Overall quality sometimes comes and goes.
The end of Uncle John's Band is cut from the SBD source, so AUD only. AUD source has several cuts, most notably a long one during Lovelight.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

GRATEFUL DEAD &
NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE
Sunday, November 8, 1970
Capitol Theater - Port Chester, NY
audience recording

AudMC > DAT > CD > EAC > SHN

Note:
This is a patched fix for the most recent upgrade of this show,
put into circulation by The Port Chester Resurrection Project
(http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=26975).

Re-editing by - Noah Weiner (Dec 2004 - March, 2005)

AudMC cuts patched via crossfade with alt version:
http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=23474

-I Know You Rider (patch covers cut 03:52 - 04:45)
-It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (patch covers cut 03:03 - 03:07)
-Truckin' (patch covers cut 05:56 - 05:58)
-Dancin' in the Streets (patch covers cut 06:17 - 06:37)

All track ID's that needed adjustment got it.

MD5's are separated out by band. Please note such that the files
named as gd1970-11-08d3 are actually Disc 4 of this entire set.

Technical Notes (from shnid=26975):
The original audience master cassettes (4 Ampex C361-90) were recorded
on a Sony TC124 with unknown dynamic mics, spread approx. 25-30 ft.
across the balcony, by Ken & Judy Lee,. The cassette tape was baked
and re-shelled, then transfered via Tascam 122 MK-III > Lucid ADA1000 >
Tascam DA30-II (DAT) > Tascam CDRW 700 (CDR) by John Jay Hance. Editing
by Peter G. via Soundforge. No noise reduction was applied. Audio
extraction and further editing via Peak 4.0, compressed to .shn with xACT
1.3, and seeded by BoldCaptain via Azureus 2.1. Tape flutter in Baby Blue,
and in Truckin'. Tape flip in Dancin' In The Streets was was seemlessly
pieced together.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- The Story of the Tapes *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-


"Who's the Dead freak?" With that innocuous question the story of these tapes begins. It was the summer of 1973, between attending 6/10/73 at R.F.K. Stadium and the Watkins Glen soundcheck. A friend of mine was listening to Live/Dead at his parent's house. A local cabinetmaker was working at the house and asked the question. He mentioned that he had a bunch of Dead tapes from the Fillmore East back at his house. For about a year, three 90 minute composites of the 4/71 shows had made their way around taping circles in the Princeton, N.J. area, but not the complete shows.
Within hours, Peter Kafer and I were at the cabinet shop with our reel to reel decks. What we found when we got there were 11 master reels of the 4/71 shows, along with a host of other 1st and 2nd generation tapes from the Fillmore East of other bands, but also including 9/20/70. Also there were the 1st generation reels from 11/23/70 at the Anderson Theater.

The 4/26-29/71 master reels were recorded by an individual named Buddy Miller, a local N. J. area musician. Buddy has become a very well respected, and recorded, Nashville guitarist. He is currently touring with Emmy Lou Harris, and can be heard on her current CD, Red Dirt Girl. Buddy was a friend of the cabinetmaker and, since he travelled a great deal, the tapes resided at the cabinet shop. Buddy was set up to record these shows by a friend who was a member of the Fillmore East soundcrew.

These shows were NOT recorded in the same manner as the February '70,the May 15, '70 show, and the material from the September 18, 19, and 20,'70 shows. For the April '71 shows, a feed was run off the soundboard,which was upstairs in a balcony box, stageleft. There is a good pictureof the soundbooth in Amalie Rothchild's book, Live at the FillmoreEast. The feed went from the soundboard into a broomcloset nearby,literally a broomcloset. Buddy remembers a bucket and mop! The feed wasmixed down on two little Shure line mixers and recorded on a middle of theline Sony deck onto BASF 90 minute reels at 7 1/2 ips. There was also alittle consumer Dolby B unit used, which is why these recordings seem so'bright'.

We taped everything that summer of 1973 onto BASF reels. The following fall, Peter took his reels with him to California to begin his freshman year at U.C., Berkeley. From here he met various West coast tapers such as Bob Menke and Rob Bertrando, and the tapes began their circulation on the West coast. I took mine to Trinity College in Connecticut and began to circulate them out
East.

Two years later, we wanted to retape the original masters, since we now had somewhat better decks and Maxell reel to reel tape had come on the market. We recopied everything. At this time, Buddy Miller simply gave us many of the Fillmore and Anderson Theater reels for essentially the cost of blank tape.
His own musical interests had moved on. Of the 4/71 masters, we were given 6 of the 11 reels and Buddy retained the other 5. I've had these reels in my possession since then.

Why has it taken so long for these reels to enter the digital world?
Basically because I dropped out of the whole tape collecting scene about 1980 due to family, career, etc.

However, two of my old taping buddies, Bernie Tenenbaum and Chris Zingg, implored me to get my reels digitized before the analog reels degraded.
Fortunately they had been safely stored in cardboard boxes, away from heat and light, in the back of a closet. I knew nothing of the digital world, didn't have a DAT or CD machine, had no idea what a tree or a 'B and P' was, and was absolutely amazed at how big the community of collectors had become.
When I effectively left it at the end of the '70s, it was really only a handful of people.

This past Spring I reconnected with Buddy Miller for the first time in over 20 years. He actually was able to dig up 2 of the 5 original BASF masters that he had hung onto, and mailed them up to me. With 8 of the original 11 now in hand, and my complete set of Maxell 1st gen. copies to fill in the blanks for the still missing 3 masters, I digitized the shows. The missing reels, #'s 4, 5, and 6, run from 4/27 Hard to Handle through the pre-break portion of Bird Song on 4/28. For this I used the Maxells. Along the way, I was directed to Jim Wise for advice and assistance in digitizing and getting the shows out into the community.

I transferred the shows to CD incorporating the New Riders sets, instead of treating them discreetly. I really believe that the performances should be considered in their entirety. Back in the '70s when these shows got circulated, the Riders sets got ignored after awhile, which was a shame. They are a lot of fun to listen to, and a great warmup for the Dead show to follow.

The reels were played on a Revox A77 and digitized directly onto an Alesis Masterlink ML9600, sampling at 16 bit, 44.1 k. The Alesis was a wonderful solution for someone in my position, sitting on a bunch of reels. It removed the intermediate step of re-recording everything onto DAT. For those who are curious about the Masterlink, check it out at www.alesis.com.

One final bit of information that makes this whole 27 year story all the more fascinating is that these 2 track masters were used for the recent 16 track release, Ladies and Gentlemen....The Grateful Dead. While the 16 track recordings had Bill Graham's introduction and his tribute/tirade speech before In the Midnight Hour on 4/29, it was not nearly as strong and present as it was on the 2 tracks for some reason.Through an introduction facilitated by Jim Wise, Jeffrey Norman and David Lemieux asked if I could send out the 2 tracks to be used on the release. With 5 days to go before the production CDs were due at the printing plant, I FedEx'ed them out and they were used for those two Bill Graham pieces. A wonderful chapter after all these years.

There has always been a question about 4/25/71. The BASF master labelled #1 begins with Big Boss Man from 4/26. Back in 1973 we saw nothing of any taping of 4/25's show. I have asked Buddy about it and, after 29 years, he doesn't believe he recorded it, which would be consistent with 4/26 being #1. Just a guess: since the record company was there to record the run, our surrepticious broomcloset tapers just lay low the first night to make sure it was clear to try to tape. I know there has been a high-gen fragment of 4/25 that has circulated for years that supposedly came from cassette masters that were also made of these shows. While anything is possible, if this were true one would have to wonder why no material from cassette has ever surfaced of any of the other 4 nights. The mystery remains, but one day I am gonna have to put this mystery to rest.

I hope everyone enjoys these new and improved versions of the 4/71 Fillmore East shows. They have always been the heart of my Dead collection and many others as well, I suspect.

Bill Gadsden, 11/23/00

About three months ago I discovered that the New Riders' sets, just the Riders, from all five nights had been taped on a reel to reel, separately and distinctly from Buddy Miller's taping effort. With this alternative source I can now supply the missing first half of the NRPS set from 4/27, and the complete sets from 4/25 and 4/26.

Bill Gadsden, 2/20/01

Matt's original notes from 114029:
I decided to put this out for a number of reasons but mainly it's a big improvement as to what circulates. The main reason being Will's reels are in prime condition and have never had to be baked over a number of times. The exact lineage of all the 4/71 FE reels are still a mystery so perhaps we will really never know the whole story BUT some low gen reels @ 7.5 ips. have survived in one piece and these are some of them.. According to the story from Wilson and Pat Lee, Peter Kafer and Bill Gadsden "purchased" the supposed masters from a guy named Buddy Miller(now a country musician) and brought them up to the Northwest for them to copy back in 1973. Will's are 7.5 ips. and Pat's are 3.3/4 ips. Nobody for sure knows exactly which were masters since Buddy decided to keep a few for himself which is truly the crux of the mystery or if even Buddy had masters himself. I realize in some circles this is considered heresy but it's true and until Buddy comes forward and flat out states he had masters this should be considered as a possibility. We can only now just listen carefully and try to figure it out that way.. Anyhow please enjoy!

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

The following is excerpted from Bill Giles notes on the remastering:
First the bad news: First note or two of Bertha (d1t1) is missing there is a momentary irrepairable drop out at 5.05 in Truckin' (d2t4) on the original sources. There's also a miniscule drop out in Dark Star (d3t1) at 14.45 - but hardly noticeable there are a few whirrs and bangs that seem to originate from the bass, noticeable mainly in Casey Jones and OMSN. These originate from the master reel. Virtually all the breaks between songs were cut on the source CD: these have been tidied with fades and pauses. The rest is all good news - you only need read on if interested in the detail. The main work is set out below.

DISC 1 and 2
Cumberland Blues:
extracted from Europe 72, pitch flattened by one-third of a semitone to concert pitch (- 2% speed), and patched between Next Time and B.E. Women.
Brown-Eyed Women: volume reduced by - 2.0 dB to match the rest of the set

General:
Left channel balance increased + 2.5 dB in all songs (except Cumberland) to place drums in stereo centre. (The stereo balance was noticeably right biased.) Various minor pops, crackles, glitches removed or scrubbed in varioussongs (mainly Bertha, T Jed, Playing, Truckin')

DISC 3
In addition to the new source (which has a number of faults), I had 5 versions of Disc 3 to choose from. Although all are ex Sonic Solutions (and thank you David Gans for all of this), amazingly enough each one is different! There are the 'post FM compressed' models, the 'uncompressed missing first notes of Dark Star' models, and the 'lamentable to pretty good Dark Star > Sugar Mag transition reel splice' models, plus permutations. All these models have a number of other common minor defects that I've repaired. I probably haven't caught them all - but you gotta be careful: one man's glitch could be Billy's rimshot!
All versions of Dark Star seem to come from two vault sources.
There is a slight but perceptible change in sound at 5.33. I guess this arises from the tape used for the 24 minute extract on the 'Glastonbury LP' that started around this point.
This remaster is based on the 'non-compressed, includes the first notes of Dark Star' model which I believe to be closest to the Sonic Solutions master, though the splice left room for slight improvement.
Main corrections are:
Dark Star: various digi-crackles and glitches removed 31.30 - 31.40 The splice is now millisecond perfect (and validated against the AUD tape!), and I've adjusted the volume profile after the splice (what splice?!!)
Caution: a few minor glitches removed between 1.30 & 3.10

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

sound is generally a bit muddy, some hiss Pigpen's voice is almost inaudible at times and sometimes distortion & pops from Keith's piano pick-up, the best & most complete version currently in circulation

a lot of minor anomalies (mainly clicks) throughout discs 1 + 2 d3t03: tape warble @18:47-18:52, sounds like a master cassette flaw d1t06: very beginning is missing (a few seconds worth)

Bill Giles remastering notes:
"What do you do with an excellent concert that circulates digitally on muddy CD only and for which cassette copies, while superficially brighter, carry a lot of noise and distortion? Frustrating. I suspect the CD's lack of edge is the result
of an uninspired noise reduction job [which makes the MC>D>CD lineage questionable]. I've simply tried to brighten itup by re-equalisation. I've also rebalanced the tracks (the right track was relatively overweight) and attenuated a few glitches. It ain't great, but it's definitely better. From the master disc, the opening notes of Big Boss Man are missing, and the start of Good Lovin' is an AUD patch; and there are some crackles, particularly in Brown-Eyed Women and Truckin', and a number of drop-outs and wobbles throughout the concert.

I would not describe it as 'remastered' - just 'tidied up'. I guess linage should read: MR>??>CDR>Sound Forge 4.5>CDR"

----------

From Jim Powell:
"This is the complete show off reels from the 1st generation cassette source, with Bobby McGee and Cumberland patched from excellent 2nd generation FM-SBD cassette, It Hurts Me Too from a second SBD source, and the tape flip during the Good Lovin' sequence patched from 1st generation FM-SBD cassette. It is superior to all versions in circulation and should be definitive until GDM releases the show.

"Jack Warner did the patches and mastering. Jim Powell instigated and organized the project. Greg Hurwitt is administering the tree."

From Greg Hurwitt, phobos@quik.com :
March 2002 - Digital processing for entire seed: CD master>CD>EAC>Cool Edit 2000>SHN

CD master > CD by Jim Powell via Tascam CD duplicator

CD > EAC > Cool Edit 2000 > SHN by Greg Hurwitt
- Ripped with EAC V0.9b2 (test and copy tracks with all track CRC's verified OK).
- There were about a dozen clicks on my CD copy that were not present on the CD master. I used Cool Edit 2000 V1.0 to remove these. I also used Cool Edit to remove audible artifacts at about a half dozen track boundaries. All click removal was done on very narrowly targetted (usually 3-4 sector) sections of music.
- Verified all tracks cut on sector boundaries with shntool V1.01.
- Used mkwACT V0.97b1 to create SHN's (SHN v3 with seek data embedded).

Remaining digital flaw: There is a digi-drop (about 4 sectors long) at d4t6 1:14.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

COMMENTS
The tape in circulation contains the soundcheck (Loser, BT Wind) and the show except Mr. Charlie, Sugaree and Saturday Night. There is also a fragment of Saturday Night with poor sound from the TV broadcast. One More Saturday Night is on the commercially released MTV video "Closet Classics".

Notes:
1. shntool confirms tracks on sector boundaries

d1t1 ~01:52.07 brief sub-second splice from fix of gap
d1t1 ~03:12:25 some warbly sound in right channel from partial loss of high frequencies
d1t5 ~2:13 fixed a gap

The SBD supplies Good Lovin', Casey Jones, Dark Star-->Sugar Magnolia, and most of One More Saturday Night


Caveat:
--The sources for this recording are well below par. The audience recording is decent for some portions (for the era) and is merely listenable for other portions. The SBD is rather degraded, and shows signs of tape stretching, especially for the tracks following Me & My Uncle. Sound Forge was used to adjust a significant and varying pitch problem for the SBD portions as well as to correct the pitch of the AUD portions. This SBD has been circulating listed as SBD>MR>C>D>CD, which seems unlikely. Besides the profound Dark Star, this recording might only be suited for completists.

Notes:
--first few notes of China Cat are clipped
--first few notes of Loser are clipped
--first few notes of Good Lovin' are clipped
--audience patch from 18:15 to 20:30 in Dark Star (d3t01)
--first few notes of Not Fade Away are clipped
--reel flip in Not Fade Away reprise
--audience patch for final 45 seconds of Saturday Night

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

This is an upgrade to the previous shn set
http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=9197

The
sound quality here is on par with the commercially released tracks, while the previous shn set I now believe to have been from an FM broadcast based on the spectral signature and hiss level. This new shn set also includes El Paso which was missing from the previous, "FM" shn set. Although I do not know the exact source/lineage information, it is probably from the same 16 track tapes used for the commercial release.

Comments:
* Second Encore
- sbd was pitched to match the aud source. The pitched varied thoroughout and for the longer songs multiple pitch corrections for different segments were required. There are still artifacts, especially before reel or cassette flips.
- Cool Edit Pro used for pitching, crossfades, etc... with highest accuracy settings
- there is little audio above 8kHz on this sbd so it pales in comparison to the better E72 boards available
- d1t1 (fades in and out) 1:06-1:09 hiss level changes briefly 5:37-5:40 overload distortion (as Keith mixed in higher?)
- d1t4 some overload like distortion at times when everyone plays chords together and on Bob's vocals
- d1t5 & d1t6 some distortion on Phil's bass and Garcia's guitar and vocals at times
- d1t7 overload distortion most promient on harmonica
- d1t8 mild overload distortion occasionally on vocals, piano, guitars
- d1t9 spots where bass and vocals have mild overload distortion
- d2t1 residual speed variation before some reel flips
- d2t2 mixes changes at the start
- d2t3 some distortion and a few very brief partial drop outs. 2:51 volume briefly drops
- d2t4 distortion on vocals and some of phils chords
- d3t1 reel flip cross faded with aud
- d3t2 reel flip cross faded with aud
- d3t5 opening notes cross faded from aud, hiss level different than preceeding tracks, more "aud" like ambiance

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Lineage:
Soundboard->Master Reel (multi-track)->DAT x 5

Transfer:
DAT->Audiophile 2496->Samplitude v7.02 Professional->FLAC
De-clicked/popped and normalized with Cool Edit Pro v2.0

DAT seed provided by Michael P. Weitzman
Transfer and SHN by Joe Samaritano
4/23/2005

Notes:
1. This is a fix of shnid 21923 where my Win98 machine w/ZA2 was on it's last leg. The channels on that source flew all over the place.
2. This differs from shnid 142 (Masse) in that there is no digital noize during Bertha, no dropout in Drums, no dropout at the beginning of the 2nd Other One, and no noise during the final 2 minutes of Wharf Rat.
3. Consistent with other copies, Casey Jones has a skip ~4 minutes in.
4. This time I left out the China Cat->IKYR, Tennessee Jed, and Jack Straw patches. These can be dropped in from the Europe 72 CD. Buy it if you don't own it. I skipped these track numbers for easy re-naming later.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Bickershaw Festival
Wigan, England

Discs 1 & 2 are a compilation of multiple Audience sources which were used to piece together the complete 1st set and first 4 songs of the 2nd set. A big thanks to Mick Etherington, Dave Lang, Simon Mould, Simon Phillips, as well as Chris Jones- the only taper we can identify- for supplying their copies of this show, as well as Alan Schlissel and Steve Barbella for getting the different versions all in one place. The various versions were all speed corrected, but there are still some speed fluctuations and "wow and flutter" here and there.

Discs 3 & 4 are supplied from a Master Soundboard Reel > DAT source. The previously circulating, 2nd set partial Betty Board was used to patch "The Other One".

There is a 5th disc which contains the NRPS set and is not for the faint of heart.

I was approached by Mick Etherington about finding and putting together the best possible sources for his only Dead show, the Bickershaw Festival. Bickershaw was a 3 day festival with many popular bands of the day. By all accounts the weather was cold and rainy with mud everywhere. The cold weather wreaked havoc with the equipment and the band and it made conditions extremely unpleasant for concertgoers. Mick recalls sheltering under the sound tower from the rain, wet and tired after a long weekend.

Mick had long harbored the dream of getting the whole show together after having listened to the second set from Dark Star onwards that had circulated for some time. What Mick started ultimately became an effort spanning 2 oceans and 3 or so continents to find all versions of this show that were known to be in circulation. We eventually turned up many pieces of this show, some workable, others not. We were only able to identify one of the tapers, Chris Jones, who did a good job considering the circumstances. Mick introduced me to Dave Lang who provided many of the versions used here and he was able to connect me with other people who provided their alternate versions.

I approached Steve Barbella to locate someone with the knowledge and proper equipment to analyze, clean up and sew together the bits and pieces. Steve suggested Scott Clugston and I subsequently mailed him a large stack of discs. Scott examined all the source material and the result of this effort speaks for itself. Scott supplied his copy of soundboard material that was used on discs 3 and 4. After some consideration he decided to use only audience tapes for discs 1 and 2 since the soundboard segments we obtained were of poor quality.
Scott considers this to be one of the more difficult projects he has worked on and I thank him for his time and talent.

Only a few hours after I initially released this "new" show, Steve contacted me to say that he had heard from Seth Kaplan and that he had a version of the soundboard that did not have a cassette generation in it. We agreed to recall the few copies that we released and to see what Seth had. Seth had the same partial set 2 soundboard only it was remastered by Bill Giles, whose comments follow below.

Scott contacted me regarding this new soundboard version and according to him:
"I've spoken at length with Jeff Tiedrich regarding the Sbd portion of this show.....here's the scoop;-)........when the more complete copy of the 2nd set began to circulate, we were told that the lineage was MSR>DAT.....after listening, and based on the hiss levels, the pedigree was questioned and the source came back and said that it was possible that there was a cassette gen present, but couldn't confirm one way or the other........being a bit conservative when it comes to pedigrees, we opted to list this new copy (with the Betty Board patch in The Other One) as MSR>C>DAT........this was approximately March of 2000.........I never gave it a second thought and since then, Jeff has confirmed that what we have (and patched) is MSR>DAT......"

In all likelihood, Scott's version has the same lineage as this upgrade.

This upgrade has a very nice patch that restores the opening notes of Dark Star. Also, Bill scrubbed some broadband noise from the quiet passages of that song. I did an A/B comparison of discs 3 and 4 and found that the 2 versions were identical in quality except for the patch of the first 5 notes of Dark Star and a slightly reduced noise level during certain quieter passages in Dark Star.

The other advantage to using Seth's version of the soundboard is a little extra banter at the beginning of disc 4 before Sugar Magnolia and some excerpts of assorted stage banter that was placed after the encore.

I verified and fixed sector boundaries with shntool and seek enabled all tracks with seek tables appended using shn v3.

Enjoy the show,
Alan Schlissel

"Little did I know at the time that two of the shows that I taped are now regarded as 'master'
audience recordings. Jeez, I'm so glad I did. If Alan wants to know, the recorder I used was
an early Pye Cassette recorded with a hand-held mic."
- Chris Jones

Notes by Bill Giles:

"Bickershaw:
I'm 100% confident that this remastered version *is* the best in circulation. When Gavin Lawson kindly sent me his CDR some months ago, his source's lineage showed a cassette gen.
In contrast, Tiedrich's Resources for Traders said the best source had no cassette gen.

"This version starts with Dark Star (but missed the first 5 notes which I've patched in from a poor denoised and re-equalised SBD cassette. It's OK!! You'd never know if you hadn't been told). It is not the Betty Board, the circulating copy of which only starts in the 1st verse of TOO (33 mins late!).

"The Dark Star's a true beauty, er blissfully spatial in the 72nd degree......... but the source contains a lot of broadband noise - a bit like there's glass reverberating intermittently but frequently on your speakers (or, if you're grooving in the cans, inside your head). Sometimes it's one channel, sometimes the other, sometimes both. Real irritating.
David Hollister confirms that the noise is on the original master reel and that he had not tried treating it because broadband noise is not susceptible to general scrubbing. So, to cut another long story short, I've been through each and every burst of noise in Dark Star, channel by channel, and tried to clean each one individually. Well, it's one way of getting into the music :)) The result's not perfect and never would be, but all the noises are attenuated and some are removed. It's definitely very OK, the basic sound is first class.
Most important, the MUSIC IS OUTTASIGHT.

"The other problem with the source is a 30 sec cut in TOO and the absence of stage announcements (in particular Weir's "we've forgotten how to play St Stephen....... maybe we could go back and listen to our records and cop our licks" rap, and apologies for yet another technical problem "Garcia's got to clean his glasses". (Weir was really on good stage rap form on this tour)). I've patched in the music and announcements from BD>DAT>CDR (Betty Board), courtesy of Steve Nicholls. I had wondered whether to use the Betty as the master source from when it enters in TOO onwards, but comparative listening shows the non-Betty is the better and clearer sound - drums are crisper, instruments brighter - whereas the Betty has some bass saturation and is slightly muddier in the middle. (Very appropriate for Bickershaw, ha ha.)

"Finally, as a reminder of the atmospherix of the event, I've added a few other moments of the concert from the poor quality SBD cassette, denoised (though you might not think so!) and re-equalised, as a brief filler. In particular 'Happy Birthday Billy' and Weir explaining that, to keep warm, they are playing under 30 knots of jet breath from hot air heaters and getting dizzy with the smell of kerosene.....

"For those who don't know (or need help remembering) just how wet, muddy and great it all was,you can read more about the Bickershaw festival - personal accounts, photos, programme extracts etc - on this site:

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

New txt file (4/03)

Note from Unicorn:
I've had these files for 2 & 1/2 years. I'm embarrased to say that I *think* I fixed these myself, using Cool Edit Pro, but I honestly don't remember.
The notation style below looks like mine, but who knows? So if someone else actually did it, forgive me for not giving proper credit.

If anyone finds any additional glitches, let me now in the discussion group and I will correct them and repost.

<b>Original txt file (from 11/00)</b>

Posted to alt.binaries.gdead.highspeed (thanks to Nic Brokenleg for pointer):

"Greetings,
I recently downloaded the SHN files for 72-05-18 from gdlive and found digital errors in seven of them. Many involved short sections (around 1 second) that repeated, and the others had digital glitches.

The errors were:

gd72-05-18d1t102 at 6:36 (major digital glitch)
gd72-05-18d1t106 at 2:03 & the last few seconds (repeat & digital noise)
gd72-05-18d1t110 at 2:50 (tiny glitch)
gd72-05-18d2t201 (.76 sec. repeat, didn't save location)
gd72-05-18d2t207 (.76 sec. repeat, didn't save location)
gd72-05-18d3t301 at 17:39 (digital noise)
gd72-05-18d3t305 at the very beginning (5 sec. repeat)

I have repaired all of them using a WAV editor to seamlessly clip out only the errors. The only really complicated one was gd72-05-18d1t102, where I had to insert a fraction of a second of silence to fill out a beat. I sent an e-mail message to gdlive asking if they wanted these files. Alas, no one ever answered.

But at alt.binaries.gdead.d, Steve said I should send them on up (bless his heart :-) ) So here they are.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Strand Lyceum
London, England

This is a speed corrected and restored version of the complete 4-disc set that is circulating. It replaces that set and an older 3-disc version that cut off during "Comes A Time".

The 4-disc source was missing the beginning of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone".
Those parts were restored using clips from the 3-disc set. Also restored was a short blurb from Weir at the end of "Morning Dew". "Ramble On Rose" has been moved to the beginning of disc 3 where it belongs. Detailed notes on the restoration are below.

Thanks to terrapinstation for providing the newer 4-disc set that this was based on.

** Restoration notes **

Source tapes:

SourceA - A complete version of the show and the primary source for this recording, but the beginning of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone" are missing.
Tape speed is fast by .95% to 1.5%. Volume levels on most tracks had been pushed to the point that there is digital clipping, although it is largely inaudible. Disk 1 has several clicks.

SourceB - A 178 minute version that ends part way through "Comes A Time", but with a complete "Dark Star" and "He's Gone". The volume levels are 7 dB lower than SourceA, there is more tape hiss, and it runs 2.25% slow.

Both of theses sources came, ultimately, from the same soundboard tape.

For this restoration, I used Cool Edit Pro as my WAV editor. Also used were Sonic Foundry's Clipped Peak Restoration tool from Noise Reduction 2.0a, and Wave's X-Noise noise reduction tool from Restoration Bundle 1.0.

Noise reduction was done only on the missing parts of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone" from SourceB. All tracks had the DC Offset corrected to zero. And most of the tracks were run through Clipped Peak Restoration with the post-limiter enabled.

The speed correction probably won't be noticable to anyone but musicians who try to play along with the music.
Silence that was removed was actual silence, not quiet time between songs.

Finally, I changed no EQ settings or volume levels except on the clips from urceB.

* Disc 1 (all tracks slowed by 1.25% except T13, 1.5%)
D1T01 Removed click at 3:08
D1T03 Removed click at 4:04
D1T06 Removed click at 4:40
D1T07 Smoothed tape transition at 4:40
D1T10 Removed 18 seconds of silence at the end of the track and a 2 1/3 second clip that was a repeat of the beginning of "China Cat Sunflower". How it ended up here I'll never know.
D1T11 Removed clicks at 2:40 & 2:47 & 2:54
D1T13 Removed 2 minutes 48 seconds of silence at the end of the track

* Disc 2 (all tracks slowed by 1.5%)
D2T02 Smoothed tape transition at 3:19 slowed 1.75%
D2T03 Remove 7.4 seconds of redundant sound at 4:54. slowed 1.75%
D2T04 Removed 1/3 second of redunant sound at 0:18.6

* Disc 3 (all tracks slowed by .95%)
D3T01 Remove 2 minutes 39 seconds of silence at the end of the track
D3T02 After speeding up SourceB 2.25%, boosting volume levels 7dB, and applying noise reduction and EQ, the first 1:13 was pasted onto the beginning of the SourceA "Dark Star". Not quite as seamless as the "He's Gone" patch due to differences in the stereo fields of the two sources, but still pretty darn good. D3T03 SourceB had this line from Weir tagged on at the end of this track. I cleaned it up as best I could and added it to SourceA. "We're gonna pause for a moment, and scratch our asses and drink a little cold and wet liquid."

* Disc 4 (T01 & T02 slowed by 1.25%, the rest by .95%)
D4T01 Speed up SourceB 2.25%, boosted levels 7dB and applied noise reduction to match SourceB to SourceA. Patched 39 seconds, the intro and 1st verse, from SourceB onto the beginning of SourceA. The splice is undetectable except for a subtle shift of the vocal in the stereo field.
D4T06 Removed 34 seconds of silence at the end

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Note: This is superior to all circulating copies. The lineage of the DAT is guaranteed. I did the transfer myself. The DAT was played on a Panasonic SV-3700, transferred to my Delta DiO 2496, recorded with SoundForge 4.5, and tracked and burned with CD Architect. EAC was used to create the SHN files.

There is a <1 second patch in Playin' to fix a small spot of tape warble.

The Morning Dew was patched from another previously circulating version with 10-second crossfades on each side to minimize the difference in quality.

There is also a small patch in Sugar Magnolia.

All of these patches came from previously circulating copies.

transferred from DAT/burned/shortened/seeded by khensu (david.hollister@cox.net)

Enjoy!

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Notes:
Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual-DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com on January 4, 2004.
Thanks to Peter Braverman for his fine work.

From the Braverman text file and prior to Bertha Remastering:

Source:
SBD>16 Track Master Reels>DAT@44.1K>DAT>DAT>WAV>SHN
DAT>WAV via Sony SDT-9000 DDS drive using VDAT 0.6f
(see error logs below)
WAV was edited in Soundforge 4.0 (crossfading of reel cuts between
songs, no music was disturbed except for Sugar Magnolia)
WAV>SHN via CDWAV 1.53>MKW 0.97b

The songs from the reels were originally edited down to DAT very
tightly, almost no banter is present in this version.

Known Flaws: the first few notes of Sugar Magnolia were missing
and were patched in from the circulating Gans CD source.

The following spots were edited using pencil tool in Soundforge
(small bits of analog static removed):
d1t1, 2:18 - left channel click - smoothed, still slightly audible
d1t1, 2:20-2:23 - left channel static - smoothed, still slightly
audible
d1t06, 2:12 - pop - fixed
d2t01, 14:28 - right channel crackle - fixed
d2t05, 3:37 - right channel click - fixed
d2t05, 4:13 right channel click - fixed
d2t05, 04:18 - right channel static - smoothed, still audible
d2t05, 04:45 - right channel static - fixed
d2t05, 04:00-05:00 - some other static, smoothed, but still audible
d2t05, 5:05 - right channel click- still slightly audible
d3t01, 0:28 - two right channel clicks - fixed
d3t01, 0:38 - right channel click - fixed
d3t01, 8:06, 8:11 - right channel crackles - fixed
d3t01, 26:29 - right channel click - fixed

There are a few other minor analog anomalies that were left alone:
d1t01, 2:02 click in right channel
d1t01, 2:26 slight pop
d1t07, 3:48 click
d2t01, 6:00 faint click
d2t04, 10:12 pop
d2t05, 3:36 click
d2t05, 3:42 click
d3t01, 28:24 click
d3t04, 5:10-7:50 intermittent analog buzzing in right channel

There's probably some more to be found, however, all are quite minor

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Original Notes for shnid=2202 by Jeff M. and Greg Hamilton:

Known Flaws: transient static occurs throughout the first half of disc 1; the specific cases annotated below are just examples. It does not sound like diginoise, but rather seems likely to be on the source reels.

d1t03 (Loser): brief static 3:02-3:06; subsecond discontinuity @ 3:49
d1t04 (Black Throated Wind): static 0:22-0:24
d1t08 cut at begining of Tennessee Jed
d2t01 cut during 15:00 minute mark of Playin' in the Band
d3t05 I Know You Rider cuts at 4:02 (rest is missing).

These flaws exist on all known to be circulating soundoard sources of this rare show.If someone has the even rarer aud., It would be nice to patch the rest of Rider in.

Edits by Sean Cribbs (7/2004):

--Spectral analysis revealed at least one additional analog generation in the source lineage.
--Splice exists at the start of Dark Star (~0:48).
--A narrow band of hiss was removed from the material on discs 1 and 2 using a notch filter @ 15970 Hz / 30 db attenuation; a second narrow band of hiss was removed from the majority of Playing In The Band using a notch filter @ 15930 Hz / 30 db attenuation; neither of these bands of hiss appeared on disc 3 (Dark Star through end).
--A NR filter was applied using a noise profile of pure tape hiss obtained from dead air at the start of disc 1.
--Splice in Playing In The Band was smoothed by removing dead air.
--Other spots of dead air were also removed.
--Attenuated two clicks at the transition into China Cat Sunflower.
--Attenuated multiple clicks in Sugar Magnolia.
--All discs were retracked after editing.
--No normalization was applied.
--Spots of static noted above were minor and thus not removed.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

A Dick Latvala DAT shared with for Dead Air's 500th radio show, KXCI 91.3 FM Tucson.

This source and many more to come provided graciously by Jim Blackwood, former Dead Air co-host. We believe it is Dick's copy of Owsleys AUD. We know more of the AUD exists , but this is what Dick chose to share with KXCI. The song list is Dick's and the tracking reflects this.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Audio/flac, ?/?, (?)

The Grateful Dead
December 11th, 1972
Winterland Arena
San Francisco, CA


Lineage: "7 MR @ 7 1/2 ips.>R@ 3 3/4 ips.(Kidd dub for Jerry)>R @ 3 3/4 ips(Will Boswell)>DVD
Tape stock: Black Maxell UDII reel tape.
Transfer info: Akai GX 636 >> Apogee Mini Me(24/96) >> Apogee Mini Dac(monitoring/mastering)
>> LynxOne Soundcard >> Wavelab 5.0 >> DVD at 24 bit 96 kHz

Will's reel was dubbed in the spring of 1979 and to the best of my knowledge, has been the source to the circulating version. However, in this case, Pat Lee dubbed his reel off of will's so it could have been Pat's reel that has been the source through the years. I do know Will's reel has hardly been played and in pristine condition and the results bear this out- Matt Smith

Audience patches come from master tapes recorded by Gene Taback aka Snoid at LL. He and sent to me for this project. Some mastering and pitch correction was performed to improve the sound. The Johnny B Goode is on Gene's tape but likely isn't from that night, but we left it just because we wanted and because memories still seem hazy. Almost no music is missing from this now, short of the casey jones..2 patches in darkstar, 2 in china cat and tons of others. enjoy.

Another slightly better audience tape is in the works. This may be re-released some day.
As it stands, certainly an enjoyable listen.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Jim Powell's notes:

There are conflicting reports whether the SBD master is on cassettes or reels, but it sounds like it would have to be reels.
The last 26 seconds of Here Comes Sunshine is missing on our copy of the SBD and is patched in using an AUD master from a cassette copy of unknown low generation.
22 seconds in Eyes Of The World are patched from this AUD source also.
The 22-second cut in Eyes looks like a cassette tape flip introduced when the reels were transcribed to 1st gen cassette. The missing conclusion of Here Comes Sunshine is harder to account for on this hypothesis, but there seems a reasonable chance that both missing segments are intact on the master reels. Meanwhile, this tree.

First set highlights include TLEO, Row Jimmy, GSET and China Cat > Rider. The Here Comes Sunshine times almost 16 minutes, is the longest known on circulating tape and probably the best. The Dark Star is the third longest known at 43:28, and one of the all time best. It is the fraternal twin of 11/11/73.D

Dave Greenberg did the patches. David Gans supplied DATs of the 1st gen cassette SBD and Jim Powell instigated the project, supplied the AUD cassette used to patch the SBD's defects, and wrote this note.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel sound, like DTS and Dolby Digital. While the Audio-CD standard (Red Book) hasn't changed to accommodate these new sound formats, it is still possible to go around the specification and to put a 5.1 surround recording on a regular Audio-CD. To play a DTS-Audio-CD you must connect your DVD/CD player via a digital cable (optical or coaxial) to your DTS Dolby-Digital receiver. It is not 100% sure that your receiver will recognize a DTS-Audio CD, so the first time you're trying to playback a DTS-Audio-CD you must do a test to determine if it can. Begin with the volume very low, start the disc and raise the volume gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the analog audio outputs of your CD/DVD player.

Burning Instructions

Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any normal Audio-CD from FLAC files.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Comments:
Branford Marsalis joins GD on Bird Song > Promised Land
and on through 2nd set.
Hamza El-Din performed during Drums.
This show was an FM broadcast nationwide.
etree lists 6 sources for this GD show.
this is not from any of those.
(none of those include the Branford Marsalis opening set.)
there are probably several other sources for this show.
this is one of them.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Tech Notes

FLAC were decoded to wave. Vegas Pro 12 was used to reassemble the tracks back to 1 long wave. Vegas Pro 12 was used to align & synch both of the sources, isolate and remove background noise, expand the dynamics and widen the stereo imaging. This is a matrix mix of 32.5% KFOG, %32.5% Webstream, 35% FOB.

Notes

Nice sounding broadcast with almost no crowd in the mix. It was more like a straight SBD but with the usual missing info above 16k and minimal dynamic range.

These are differnt than many of my matrix mix efforts in that quite a bit of DSP has been performed. Seperately the 2 broadcast sources did not sound that great. Heavily compressed, sterile and flat with no feel for a live experience. Additionally the mix was lacking Bruce and Jeff.

The sound processing effort paid huge dividens alone but combining the 2 differnt SBD broadcast is what really made the differnce.
The final result iss a great sounding SBD source that just need some life breathed into it with the FOB.

Although the broadcast sources were received at 16/44 it seems likely they were broacast at lower resolutions but obviosuly still in the high quality range. The high end (cymbols) are tight and not brittle. Plus with all the DSP and the mixdown of 3 sources means this will no longer show any signs of suspect compression.

This is a great sounding source and will do nicely until the band puts out the multitracks. Enjoy, Dan (aka amdig1)

FLAC were decoded to wave. Vegas Pro 12 was used to reassemble the tracks back to 1 long wave. Vegas Pro 12 was used to align & synch both of the sources, isolate and remove background noise, expand the dynamics and widen the stereo imaging.

Notes

Nice sounding broadcast with almost no crowd in the mix. It was more like a straight SBD but with the usual missing info above 16k and minimal dynamic range.

These are differnt than many of my matrix mix efforts in that quite a bit of DSP has been performed. Seperately the 2 broadcast sources did not sound that great. Heavily compressed, sterile and flat with no feel for a live experience. Additionally the mix was lacking Bruce and Jeff.

The sound processing effort paid huge dividens alone but combining the 2 differnt SBD broadcast is what really made the differnce.
The final result iss a great sounding SBD source that just need some life breathed into it with the FOB.

Although the broadcast sources were received at 16/44 it seems likely they were broacast at lower resolutions but obviosuly still in the high quality range. The high end (cymbols) are tight and not brittle.
Plus with all the DSP and the mixdown of 3 sources means this will no longer show any signs of suspect compression.

This is a great sounding source and will do nicely until the band puts out the multitracks. Enjoy, Dan (aka amdig1)

Notes

Nice sounding broadcast with almost no crowd in the mix. It was more like a straight SBD but with the usual missing info above 16k and minimal dynamic range.

All DJ chatter and station ID's have been meticulously removed.
These edits are completely inaudible.

These are differnt than many of my matrix mix efforts in that quite a bit of DSP has been performed. The FM broadcasted sounded very good. At first I really liked the in-your-face sound but after 20 minutes or so the heavy compression ultimately tired my ears out.
Large dynamics are part of a Grateful Dead concert experice and so it was left sounding artifical. The other broadcast was very sterile and flat with no feel for a live experience. Additionally the mix was lacking Bruce and Jeff.

The sound processing effort paid huge dividens alone but combining the 2 differnt broadcasts is what really made the differnce.
The final result iss a great sounding SBD source that just need some life breathed into it with the FOB.

Just as there was nothing, as the saying goes, like a Grateful Dead concert, there was nothing quite like hearing the late Dick Latvala describe a Grateful Dead concert. When Latvala — longtime keeper of the Grateful Dead tape Vault and founding father of the series of archival recordings known as Dick’s Picks — was especially enthusiastic about a Dead show he was not stingy with the superlatives. It was not just a “good” or “great” show — it was the most significant thing ever achieved in the history of music! A high-water mark in the annals of Western civilization! And so on. When Dick departed this life in 1999, he left us with sweet memories of many such raves. So we’re especially pleased that the latest release in the series that still bears his name contains one of the shows that Dick liked to rave about the most, from one of his very favorite periods in Grateful Dead music. Presenting Dick’s Picks, Volume 26, a two-CD set featuring highlights from the Dead’s April 26th, 1969 show at Chicago’s Electric Theater, and, in its entirety, the deserving object of Dick’s over-the-top affections: the next night’s spectacular performance at the Labor Temple in Minneapolis.

The segment of DP26 from the Electric Theater begins with a batch of tunes from the as-yet-unreleased Aoxomoxoa, including a tantalizing tease at the end of “Mountains Of The Moon,” which seems like it wants to be “Dark Star,” but makes an abrupt prankster’s detour into “China Cat Sunflower.” Other delightful surprises from this set are a version of “The Other One” with “The Eleven” stealthily tucked into the middle, and a major rarity — Jimmy Reed’s “I Know It’s A Sin,” which the Dead only played about a dozen times.

To listen to the next night’s festivities in Minneapolis is to understand why Dick Latvala worked himself into such a lovely frenzy over it. The band lets us know that they mean business early on, opening the set with a song that usually marked the climax of a Dead show in those days: Pigpen’s signature showstopper, “Turn On Your Lovelight,” which morphs into John Phillips’ classic cowboy-movie-in-miniature, “Me and My Uncle,” which in turn gives way to “Sitting On Top Of The World.” Having thrown down the gauntlet so decisively, the Dead then head straight for parts unknown, with one of the great versions of “Dark Star” of that era, continue headlong through “St. Stephen,” “The Eleven,” and then, right back where they started, to “Lovelight.” Pigpen, acting as though the astral travels of the previous hour had been a mere digression from the business at hand, picks up the narrative with a nonchalant “…like I was tellin’ ya, some ol’ time ago…” and proceeds, like Lord Buckley’s Nazz, to lay it down. So that it stays there. A cacophonous end to “Lovelight” and a lovely encore of “Morning Dew,” and then the Dead ride off into the Minnesota night, leaving the audience (including you, the home listener, decades later) to retrieve what’s left of its senses.
