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..."

Truckin'

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!

Dark Star

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!!

Dupree's Diamond Blues
April 14, 1978
Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Donna’s harmonies seem to me to be just about right. Kind of a unique Dupree! Great show!!!
Black Peter
April 10, 1978
Fox Theatre

Out of a gonzo Franklin’s….. Jerry shreds like mad in the frenetic coda!! BTW…. that Franklins (which crawls out of a very long drumz….) is a beautiful mess….another night where they become the world’s greatest garage band!!! And that’s a great thing!

Fiery transition!!! ‘78 scorches!!!!
Eyes Of The World
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Yep! Definitely deserves to be top 25 and….. wait a second!!! It ain’t even close to top 60?!? I guess it goes to show, these guys are pretty good, and there a lot of tremendously powerful Eyes out there…. Still….. this has wonderful interplay between Jerry and the gang, Bobby really awesome, Rhythm Devils right on, Phil and Keith doing their amazing thing as we roll from an excellent Estimated through a vibrant Eyes into one of the first ever official Drums/Space and….. !! A bit like some of the more fiery Eyes from the autumn of 77……
