## Appears on

### [Dark Star](https://waxonia.com/track/grateful-dead--dark-star/)

*1969 · Warner Bros. · No. 9 in [Psychedelic Rock](https://waxonia.com/genre/psychedelic-rock/)*

Twenty-three minutes on record and considerably longer in a hall. A band treating a song as a location to be explored, which is either the best or the worst idea in this list.
