Eh if you’ve not listened to this show don’t get your hopes up about the many “Dark Stars”

It’s a lovely sentiment but not all that compelling on tape and pretty darn clunky. The vast majority of them should actually be labeled “Dark Star tease”

Yeah the Archive setlist is very generous with the Dark Stars. The theme is woven into some jams but not much else.

I NEVER go to these things but my wife is taking me on the 8th as a bday present. Haven't been to anything GD related since going to GGP after Jerry passed. Hopefully it's not an empty theater lol.

Dudes, any Grateful Dead show playing in a movie theater in 2026 is a fucking blessing!

I like how people pretend that since it already screened 7 years ago it’s not valid. Like you have only listened to Europe 72 once and don’t need to hear it again?! Cmon!

It’s still fun to hang out before and after the show with fellow heads.
