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!!

Kinda close to perfect. Others are maybe more epic, and plenty are longer and jammier, but this is nearly just exactly perfect... Into a wonderful Estimated.

The Cryptical Envelopment Coda/Reprise builds to blistering beauty....About as powerful as 5/2/70, 2/28/69, 2/22/69, and all the rest of the best, some of the finest moments in GD history, those Cryptical reprises..... especially the last few minutes of this one!!!
