Electrifying set opener (I think) that shows off that St. St. connection brilliantly.

Jerry's backup vocals give this one sweet emotion. Chronically under-appreciated song.

Tight, nice CC. Seems like 1st moment of the set the band is firing on all cylinders. Trans. stretches to great IKYR.

Compelling version with Jerry exploring new ideas. It doesn't quite soar like other Fall '72s, but still stretches out and worth a close listen.

Pity the SQ is so flat, as this one cooks up nice and hot, with some extra melodicism in the outro jam before D>TOO. This show needs a SBD infusion.

This has always been my go to song when things get too dicey and I need a smooth landing, and this one doesn't disappoint: Beautifully orchestrated, lovingly sung, emotional without being over the top, it's a fragile but perfect china doll China Doll. Reminds me of why I loved it all these years.

Y'all have my permission to insist that they play this over my tombstone, alright? The whole second set, but especially the DS>MLB>Eyes patch. Home sweet home, indeed.

It's been almost three years since I last listened to this, and it still blows me away. Cerebral but elegant. Virtuoso but loose and free. It deserves all its praise. Somehow between 2012 and now the whole show became streamable again, as opposed to just the Star, which was for a while anyway not available on the Archive. Thank you, mister cool decision-maker, who gave us back the privilege to hear this one in the context of the whole show again. Thank you. Really. Plus it has to be repeated that the fact that they can give the first organic hints of MLB around about 24 minutes into it, then spiral off, get right well freaky, then after ten more wild minutes come back around and let the MLB emerge from its chrysalis to fly into one of the nicest Eyes of all time, is precisely why I listen to 1000s of hours of this music.

One might look at the setlist and think, "what was Big River doing here?", but then one listens and understands. They are perfectly in control of their music, and this one sizzles and pops and yes, at one point probably overwhelms a circuit for a few seconds. But it's a perfect workout before the long, smooth, mellow DS that follows.

Super tight set opener, moving through the different emotional phases of the song with the beautiful one-mind that just said, "buckle in heads, this set's going to go places...".
