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!!

Grate late 80s NFA! Yes, there is a really weird, funky quasi-Foolish Heart jam in there. It packs a punch! Coincidentally, it happens on the exact one year anniversary of that tune’s first appearance…..

Fiery, fierce, ferocious…… segues from a brilliant and beautiful Dark Star-Sugar Mags. Entire trilogy is magnificent.
