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!!

Vince really shines here, one of the last really beautiful versions. Like the metaphor of No Peaks... No sense of urgency, just mellow, gorgeous Valleys, which was how it usually went in the 90s.... Despite the insane heat, this was one of he coolest venues to see them... That ridiculous, blazing, endless desert.... As the Heads descended on Vegas....
