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!!

No China!! I was fortunate to see the Boys pull off a Half-Step-Rider in '85. It was a bit clunky, though ridiculously fun. This is not clunky. This is a thing of beauty, with a Groovy Jam to boot!! Jerry roars his wishes!!! Entire sequence beyond classic!!!
