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!!

Soaring, crisp, wild and lilting. Kind of thought I'd already commented on this one. Murray is on fire. Some nice Matrix stuff out there. Check out the whole show!!!

Thanks! Zesty indeed! Maybe you're right, maybe it's some Clementine... Everyone should hear this!!!!

Excellent Main Ten!!! And the jams before and after (called Dark Star Jam by some.....) make it pretty darn sacred.
