Solid (rare) second set BEW. Jam picks up the energy but mellow and concise throughout.

Playin' In The Band
July 17, 1982
Ventura County Fairgrounds

No major meltdown but a nice and mellow PITB that segues into China>Rider. Very rare transition indeed - perhaps the band was trying to spice things up a bit

Fox Theater

Have to agree with the last comment, starts out mediocre but as it chugs along it hits the sweet spot
Dark Star
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

6/8 Jam similar to many others, such as that found in the Other One on 7/1/73. Most definetely the highlight of the show - truly makes this Dark Star fantastic

Autzen Stadium

Very laid back compared to earlier Spring '90 versions. Laid back show as a whole but the energy is still fantastic Edit - its been released officially (~):)
