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..."

Madison Square Garden

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!!

Yeah, the reprise is nuts, but so is this whole entire show.
Werewolves of London

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

One and only time in New Hampshire (pretty sure...). With a great Dire Wolf earlier in the evening and this encore, were there rumors of something prowling in the woods of Hanover this Friday night....?

Gorgeous. Out of wild NFA, into wild Around, into wild and groovy Werewolves encore. Wild.

Yes! Classic Americana in the Boogie Down Bronx! Like everything at this show, one of the best versions of 1971.

Great one too, as has been said, right out of a really, really great China-Rider. Really loving this show....!
