Yes, it was not as well-played as the Estimated that preceded it (a pretty high bar to eclipse), and yes it was not the best Dark Star of the year (I saw three of the four played that year and it was my least favorite), it was by no means a throwaway version if for no other reason than Phil alone. Expand Sirius XM played this show yesterday, and I caught the Estimated >Dark Star on the way to picking up my brother in law at the airport. Jerry totally gives up on the DS before it makes any headway whatsoever toward getting off the ground. And after David Murray had contributed to that scorching Estimated, it was that much more of a head scratcher. If you look up "off a cliff" in the dictionary, you'll find reference to the Nassau 3-29 Branford Star in relation to this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP DesertDead Posted January 7, 2022 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 K i just find some of the hyperbole a bit telling as I said, not the best one I saw that year, let alone post Hampton breakout, no argument there we had a good time with it, though Thanks, John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted January 14, 2022 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Haha! I just got a notice from this thread when I checked in and just this afternoon I was thinking about what I think is a fantastic opener. GDTRFB. It pretty much gets everything right on track as it should be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Island Bro Posted January 14, 2022 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 I like unexpected, atypical openers. I’ve enjoyed DSO opening with NFA with a nice loooong and steady jam before the lyrics ever kick in…mmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
