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..."

Madison Square Garden

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!!

Aye. Right up there with Alabama (5/17/77), Iowa (2/5/78), Horton Field House (4/24/78), the Fox, the Mosque,.......

Yep. If we ever have to sleep in a hollow log and can only listen one show, this might be it.... The Other One-Cryptical... the Good Lovin'.... The Viola Lee....... the whole thing is so ridiculous!!! Happy 50th.

Insane as Cosmic Charlie crawls out of the rip-roaring primal raging beauty of the wildest Cryptical Coda, one of the finest masterpieces in GD history.... It's number one, but still can't believe the Cryptical doesn't have more votes.

A beauty. The acoustic set is gorgeous. The electric sets are ridiculous, powerful and absurd. Profound and glorious, the whole shebang. We know all about this show, but even after 50 years, it'll never grow old!!!!!
Good Lovin'

Harpur College

Play it as loud as you can and your day will improve, no matter how great or lousy your day might already be going.... 50 years ago....
