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!!

For the love of God... So ridiculous and absurdly awesome. This is why there was never a band like the Grateful Dead and why there was never anything like a Grateful Dead show.... Hear it erupt from an insane and a little bit scary Other One---Wharf Rat and smile smile smile..... read all about the thunder and the floods and the lightning... a crashing and chaotic thing of beauty! Bob makes us wonder if it's all just a dream....

Followed by a great Stranger. Again, only here for sentimental reasons!!! Don't get too excited, it's rough and messy... though it was an interesting show, with a weird and wild Half-Step-Rider and Comes a Time......
Wharf Rat

University of New Mexico

Have a feeling.... if we could find this entire show.... it would have to be something else..... Powerful and amazing!

The whole Other One is fantastic, and the Cryptical Reprise is beyond soaring!
