U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Part of a nice 1-2 punch encore; the final, high energy rockers really elevate this show.

New Minglewood Blues
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Energetic version sandwiched between a KILLER Row Jimmy and an interestingly tempoed Loser.

Ramble On Rose
Dec. 30, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Nice pace and vocals, almost as rockin' as the (pinnacle) '78 versions, with some Brent keys thrown in.

Brown Eyed Women
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Nifty '72 BEW sets-up a lovely, exploratory PITB...hold on to your hats for set 2, with a criminally underrated top 10 of all-time Dark Star.

RFK Stadium

This second set just keeps going and going...so generous!
Dark Star
July 12, 1990
Robert F. Kennedy Stadium

Very underrated Dark Star. A good one, and not just for the era; goes a lot of places, both strange and beautiful.

Robert F. Kennedy Stadium

Outro into Dark Star is so sweet...Phil and Jerry conversing in cosmic unison...check the View from the Vault II bonus footage (best of the series by far!)

Rowdy!
The Wheel

^ agreed...first few minutes are just so perfect, gentle and cloud-like
