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!!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Memorial Coliseum

Around 10 minutes into Scarlet, things get wild, and apparently Mt. St. Helen's was erupting again... Heads exited after scorching show into a storm of ash flurries from up north. Historic night, amazing show!

True. Cue this up in a mix with Good Lovin' and Dancin' from 5/2/70 and you might have a very nice day!
