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..."

Madison Square Garden

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!!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Swing Auditorium

Wow! Indeed there is a Mountain! Loud and clear, if brief... Nice!!! Really love this one, takes some great turns....
Hard to Handle
Aug. 26, 1971
Gaelic Park

Earlier, Bobby asks the crowd which needs to be louder, A, the voices or B, the instruments. The crowd roars with B. Like everything else at this show, this Hard to Handle is even more powerful thanks to them cranking up those instruments!!!

The sense of urgency as they surge into GDTRFB... it was the last time the original five were the only ones onstage...
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Gaelic Park

Maybe Weir wishes he was a headlight on a northbound train, maybe because Jerry was lost in the flaming sparks falling from the subway trains pulling in above and beyond the stands....
