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!!

Absolutely unique and cool. His Mu-tron wah wah or whatever in tarnation it was Jerry was pressing on builds beautifully and gets us back to Tennessee in fine fashion. Followed by a perfect Minglewood, perfect Row Jimmy, amidst a just about exactly perfect show from May of 1977. Go figure!!!!!

One of the best China-Riders of '74, which means this is sacred, epic, profound and thoroughly rip-roaring fun.
