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!!

Bruce makes this the best of the 90's, from one of their best Garden runs ever.

Prime as Primal can be.... Dark Star goes in and out forever-- Groovy Growling Jam into Other One is great and the UJB Jam is monumental and urgent, gotta listen through the whole stretch, NON-STOP, straight into the excellent Stephen - Eleven - Caution - Main Ten - Caution til they Bid ya Goodnight!!! Not just another Dark Star.... deserves another name altogether.....
