The Grateful Dead are back with another installment of All the Years Live on YouTube. The latest footage brings us back to 10/18/1974 during the Dead’s run of shows at the Winterland before their hiatus.

Dubbed the Farewell Shows, the Dead played “Dark Star” at the run on 10/18/1974. This performance of the Grateful Dead masterpiece would be their last until 12/31/1978. Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the performance, “Although played more than 50 times in 1972-1973 combined, Dark Star became a rarity in 1974, played only six times before being shelved until 12/31/78. At the Farewell Shows in October 1974, the Dead played this magnificent, introspective, powerful rendition of their ultimate improvisational vehicle. We were thrilled to locate the 16mm film negative when we were producing the Grateful Dead Movie DVD.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!
