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

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..."

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!

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!!

Yowza!!! Yep. Entire show under the radar. A tight Music Never - Sugaree open as strong as any show in '77.

Always my favorite Wheel, though I haven't listened to it in maybe 20 years. This whole show is one of the best, just gorgeous, poignant, powerful.....

Delicate, builds into a powerhouse. Haven't heard this show in a long, long time. Forgot how poignant the whole darn show is.... Second set is absolute beauty....
