VERY rare Throwing Stones that isn't the second to last set closer - goes straight into a solid GDTRFB

Awesome Eyes, with what appears to be Jerry playing Bobby's licks in the very beginning - AUD only but spectacular nonetheless

Also just a fun fact only one of three Samson show openers, the others being 4/10/83 and 5/26/93. All very very different eras for the band
