Notes

Garcia appeared with Scott Muni on WNEW-FM before the show and took calls from fans. Guy says he wants to hear "Dark Star", and Jerry says "You won't have to wait too long," basically foreshadowing the Star played that night.

Fall 1989: The Dark Star Tour Originally aired on Dead Head TV episode 016 - November 1989
