99) The Complete Grateful Dead Discography p45
Dark Star (2:50) / Born Cross-Eyed (3:00) - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. -
Seven Arts 7186) A studio "Dark Star" and a slightly different mix of "Born
Cross-Eyed" than on the "Anthem Of The Sun" album. Released in April, 1968.
"Dark Star" was recorded in the New York studio during the "Anthem Of The Sun"
sessions. Robert Hunter, in his first appearance on a Grateful Dead recording,
speaks the "mystery" lyrics at the end of "Dark Star": "Spinning a set of
stars through which the tattered tails of axis rolls about the waxen wind of
never set to motion in the unbecoming round about the season hardly matters
nor the wise through which the stars were set in spin." The first verse to
"Dark Star" was written by Hunter after hearing the Dead perform a jam at the
Dance Hall, Rio Nido, CA, (possibly the jams during "Dancing In The Street")
on September 3, 1967, and it was completed in Golden Gate Park while Hunter
was staying at 710 Ashbury Street in San Francisco.
