The Born Cross-Eyed here is a sweet little alternative version from the single release that was also included on the Long Strange Trip collection. It concludes with a little bit of Feedback that is a ton of fun. Then we have what is probably the earliest recording of a Dark Star with this precious acoustic rendition, which is, presumably, from the same studio session.

Notes:
– 1st recorded “Dark Star”
Reel #1 side A most likely was recorded @7.5 ips and all the rest was @15 ips. Â Dan Healy once explained he was running two different decks at this time, an 8-track 15 ips. and an Ampex 7.5 ips. deck.
Description:
Set 1
Born Cross-Eyed> Feedback, Dark Star
DeadLists notes: The circulating versions of these songs are different from the versions on the single and on “What a Long Strange trip It’s Been” (which are the same) and therefore are listed separately. These versions are often found as filler on tapes of the 11/10,11/67 Shrine shows. There is a pause between the end of Born Cross-Eyed and the Feedback. Towards the end of Dark Star Pigpen(?) says “It drags. It drags right there”. There is no banjo at the end either, but there is an acoustic guitar heard towards the beginning.
