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!!

To Lay Me Down

Coliseum

A beauty!!! You can hear a pin drop halfway through, until all of a sudden Jerry goes a little loud and swiftly rips some sad and savage notes....
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 11, 1981
Coliseum

One of the best of the early 80s. Some incredible stuff happening in these 20-odd minutes...
Brokedown Palace

Fox Theatre

Wonderful.

Holy Moses. This entire show is ridiculous. Jerry does not want to go home, wants to stay right there in that blue light cheap hotel....
The Other One
