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..."

Truckin'

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!

Carousel Ballroom

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!!

Eyes Of The World
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Fantastic Eyes, nearly as rip-roaring as the Eyes from 11/4/77 Colgate, which might be best Eyes of '77 (and one of the best Eyes ever, even without the Stronger than Slipknot Codas of '73-'74). This entire show is so ridiculously great, and this Eyes drifts beautifully into a blistering Dancing-Wharf-Franklin's-SugMags. Top-notch versions, all!! Entire show and entire March Winterland '77 run is really really powerful...
Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Listen to the roar at the opening notes... So crazy, out of Touch, and then it stands alone.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Shredded Wharf Rat. From an absurdly ridiculous show.
Dark Star
Sept. 21, 1972
The Spectrum

Those last 7 minutes of MLB will pull you right out of the wildness of a very deep and dark Dark Star. Followed by a wonderful Dew! Another great show!
Not Fade Away
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Another great show from the Fall '87 tour.
