Noteworthy Dark Stars
This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Dark Stars played by
the Grateful Dead. It is a revision of a collection originally
circulated on eTree in July, 2008.
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=516543
The original collection was closely based on a list put together by
Eric Wybenga and published in his book _Dead To The Core: An Almanac
of the Grateful Dead_. This revised collection includes sources from
Eric's list that were omitted from the original collection because I
did not believe I should seed them at eTree. It drops some of the
versions I used to "replace" versions I didn't think I could seed. It
also includes several other versions of Dark Star that were
recommended in the comments on the original collection, as well as
versions that I thought should be added. Remember, "noteworthy" does
not mean "best". In particular, I've included some versions just to
illustrate how the song sounds over the band's lifetime. I welcome
your ideas about what should be included or dropped from the
collection. There could easily be a version 3.
Most of these Dark Stars are integral parts of larger jams, and it
seemed a violence to cut them out and present them here by themselves.
So, more often than ot, I've included jams containing Dark Stars here
which I've bounded as best I could. Still, it makes for a lot of
music.
The track names are self-explanatory: they list the date of the
performance, the SHNID of the source, and shortened names of the songs
included in the track. The music in these tracks is exactly the same
as the music from the source indicated by the SHNID. When necessary, I
joined the songs into jams using "shntool join", I snipped white space
from the end of the tracks and sometimes added fades using WaveLab
6.0, and then I compressed the files using "flac --best". I used
shntool version 3.0.9 and flac version 1.2.1.
If you have the first version of this collection, you should be able
to leech over it and only grab the changes: you'll have to rename the
old tracks first, as I've had to use six-digit SHNIDs i this version
of the project.
