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!!

True. As great as any!

Top 5. Probably.
Eyes Of The World

Baltimore Civic Center

Suberb!!! 11/4/77 is probably the best Eyes of 1977. This is not far behind, very fluid and groovy, as opposed to the intensity that erupts on 11/4….. great show!! Nice release from Dave!!!

Bouncing and brisk and lovely!!! Out of a real nice Half Step....... Into El Paso! All from a fairly average '82 with some super and cool moments throughout. As is usually the case!
