China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 15, 1987
MSG

Classic China-Rider from a great run. 9/18/87 is legendary, but this show, and a lot of the shows from this tour, just as fantastic.

Around and Around

Baltimore Civic Center

In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

Eyes Of The World
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Fantastic Eyes, nearly as rip-roaring as the Eyes from 11/4/77 Colgate, which might be best Eyes of '77 (and one of the best Eyes ever, even without the Stronger than Slipknot Codas of '73-'74). This entire show is so ridiculously great, and this Eyes drifts beautifully into a blistering Dancing-Wharf-Franklin's-SugMags. Top-notch versions, all!! Entire show and entire March Winterland '77 run is really really powerful...
Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Listen to the roar at the opening notes... So crazy, out of Touch, and then it stands alone.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Shredded Wharf Rat. From an absurdly ridiculous show.
Dark Star
Sept. 21, 1972
The Spectrum

Those last 7 minutes of MLB will pull you right out of the wildness of a very deep and dark Dark Star. Followed by a wonderful Dew! Another great show!
Not Fade Away
Sept. 16, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Another great show from the Fall '87 tour.
