There’s a great recording out there of hunter and her singing speedway and franklins together in 98

respectful, but i didn't care for the delivery.

Thanx

i cant tell you how long ive been waiting to hear an old lady listlessly read the lyrics to dark star off of her cell phone, thx for this. one for the ages.

She has to read the words off? Kinda weird.

song is over 50 years old

it has like fifteen words

someone eulogizing hunter probably ought to know them proper

horrible

you guys will probably hate this, too:

Patti & Lenny Kaye perform Black Peter

there's an incredible version of Patti doing Black Peter>Dark Star>Black Peter @ the Fillmore just after Jerry died that is pretty fucking intense.

I'm pretty sure she wasn't using a teleprompter, either.

But you'd probably hate that, too.

Meh.

Yeah not an epic performance but I still like the gesture vs none.
