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!!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 12, 1980
Memorial Coliseum

Around 10 minutes into Scarlet, things get wild, and apparently Mt. St. Helen's was erupting again... Heads exited after scorching show into a storm of ash flurries from up north. Historic night, amazing show!
Dark Star

Winterland Arena

Fantastic through ridiculous Mind Left and a totally gorgeous '73 Eyes....
