The finale of The Henry Kaiser Band's performance at Slims in San Francisco, December, 1988. An hour-long examination of the Grateful Dead's space epic, "Dark Star," with divergent sidetracks and, for this show, a seasonal coda. Around seven minutes into "Dark Star," it sounds like someone cut the ropes tethering the band to any melody, as they float skyward, before quickly returning with a vocal version of the theme. We'll try to post the entire show in the near future. But, until then, give a listen to Kaiser and his pals orbiting the mother of all rock improvs (with apologies to "Interstellar Overdrive").Dark Star > (20:02)
