One of the better Box of Rain,well sung nicely played. Cos the vocals are so important to this song I would wish others to hear it and vote it up.

I think I prefer this one to the Omni show,very sweet. I just love China Doll as a song and I think it was never bettered than the 73-74 period.

Dark Star(a very good one-dark, scary)->China Doll. As Carrion Crow says elsewhere, China Doll smooths out the mind after weird Jams. Beautiful song.

Please,please please listen to this whole show. What a way to start arguably the GD best single year and in such a year this show is overlooked but make this your New Year's treat-you won't regret it.Merry Xmas and a hope we all have a Grate 2016. Here's to the next 50!
