A rare and different tune. Real nice transition into epic Playin-UJB from Go to Nassau...

Nassau Coliseum

Stunned this ain't here yet. Next night is a famous one. But this 2nd set opener is strong and rugged. Nice moment at "born to be a bachelor..."

Madison Square Garden

Wow! Can't believe this hasn't made the cut yet. Rips and roars out of poignant China Doll. Almost become a Smokestack... Super strong show!

Carousel Ballroom

DeadBase calls it a Dark Star Jam. There is not much of a hint of a Dark Star-ish melody, and the date is debatable. But everyone needs to hear this!!

True. Always was.

Civic Center

Ridiculously thunderous! Between powerful He’s Gone and Black Peter, great segues throughout.
Stella Blue
June 11, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Stellar Stella. Lush and powerful and gorgeous. Phil drops bombs as Jerry does his thing and the band is just fantastic.
Turn On Your Love Light
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

Oh yeah. Totally forgot to mention. This might be the greatest Lovelight ever. Just another example of how Jerry Garcia was the greatest musician who ever walked the Earth.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Glorious! And a beautiful transition to Eyes!
