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!!

Urgent and gorgeous, as most '76 Wheels are, in a Playin' sandwich to end the first set. Fantastic show!

Sun's gonna shine on my back door some day. March winds gonna blow all my troubles away. A beauty.

Agreed. This should be so much higher. Possibly the best ever.
Terrapin Station

Nassau Coliseum

Like the Althea from this show, really surprised this was never listed. There was nothing like a Dead show and, really, there was never anything quite like a Terrapin at a Dead show!!!!! This is a fine one. It was cut from the Go To Nassau disc, but the entire show is worth a lot of listens...

Smoking hot. Blistering. Ridiculous. All that.
