An overlooked version because of the famous movie version from the 19th October, but good and on the money.

They really groove on the outro vocals-no shrieking,just driving on and on. Not at the top but a VG 78 version

China Doll

Winterland Arena

I think I prefer this one to the Omni show,very sweet. I just love China Doll as a song and I think it was never bettered than the 73-74 period.

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Dark Star(a very good one-dark, scary)->China Doll. As Carrion Crow says elsewhere, China Doll smooths out the mind after weird Jams. Beautiful song.

Please,please please listen to this whole show. What a way to start arguably the GD best single year and in such a year this show is overlooked but make this your New Year's treat-you won't regret it.Merry Xmas and a hope we all have a Grate 2016. Here's to the next 50!
Ramble On Rose

An absolutely excellent version from one of the best shows in the legendary Spring '77 tour-what more can be said?
