Seemed to bring about some very cool music.perhaps the best stuff of most of those sub-par shows. I think that was also the period when Bruce's idea of breaking down into trios was happening.Phil talks about it some and features some excerpts in his CD that comes with his book. Also, there were lots of shows in 94 where JG stayed out extra long and played with the drummers before leaving. There's always gonna be certain D/Ss that people would favor in any given year, but I'd suggest really checking out D/S fromĨ8-89-I believe that's when the drummers really got midi-fied and the Drums were not to be pissed on in general. which I always viewed as having been more "elevated" into that slot of "opening the tripping doors" when DStar was gone. If you check out 82-88, they played a lot of Birdsong, Cassidy, MNS, PITB, etc.

I think, in general, that the years when DarkStar was put away ( essentially 81-89), the D/S segment seemed to be most relevent as a "piece" rather than just a piss break. FWIW, according to Healy in his book, D/S come along mostly as a means for the band to go backstage and re-up, so it was meant to be a break of sorts born out of their habits.
