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!!

As great as any. This was the best year, by far, for Crazy Fingers....

Most epic thing ever? Maybe.... It's up there for sure. Don't think I've ever listened to it without the He's Gone. Would be like listening to Scarlet-Fire without the Fire, or China-Rider without the Rider. This He's Gone-NFA is one for the ages!!!!!!
